Ferring Probus Club Annual Shuffleboard Afternoon

Towards the end of September the Club arranged for its annual Shuffleboard event hosted by the owner of the English Shuffleboard company from Hove. Shuffleboard existed in England over 500 years ago and is an exciting variant of Shov-Ha’Penny, in fact Henry VIII was very fond of the game.

The game is played by sliding discs along a narrow board and knocking them through gaps to score points. Each team has three players and although one team came out on top the scores between each of the 9 teams was very close. A superb buffet tea was laid on and those who attended enjoyed a very enjoyable, fun-filled and sociable afternoon.
