Southern Committee scores a strike

The Furniture Makers’ Company Southern Committee scored a strike with a successful bowling event last month.

The inaugural event, held to raise awareness of the Company in the region, took place on 27 March at the Hollywood Bowl, High Wycombe.

Sixty people from the region, including workers from Ercol, William Hands and Hypnos, played two games of 10-pin bowling.

The competition was high with the Ercol Tenners winning both games, scoring 822 points on the first and 809 on the second.

Paul Tubbs, a member of the Ercol Tenners, was the evening’s kingpin, taking away the honour of top bowler.

We’d like to thank the Southern Committee, particularly Ian Smart, who organised the event.

The Furniture Makers’ Company has five regional committees – the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Central, South West and Southern.

Each committee aims to organise a number of fundraising and networking events in their area for members and non-members of The Furniture Makers Company.
