Paul Gower writes: "I play for a Cribbage team in the area and am wondering if there is anyone who would like to join us. Currently there are 6 teams, although two of us are struggling for players. We play on Monday nights from September to March at the White Hart Olveston, The Fox Old Down, the Fox Easter Compton, The Swan Thornbury and the Wheatsheaf Thornbury.
I am part of the Cross Hands team and play at the White Hart and would welcome anyone who can play and anyone who would like to learn. The games are good fun and a good social evening."
