| Wednesday 30th April - Chew Stoke - Home - 4 Mixed Rinks |
This was our first proper mixed game and it was enjoyed by everyone. However as the afternoon progressed it got blacker and blacker and the word went out "Finish after 16 ends". As the Captain went past the Vice Captain's rink he just happen to mention "Vice if you drop 4 shots I will win the money". Resul : Banwell 66 shots - Chew Stoke 58 shotst |

| Wednesday 7th May - Wookey Hole - Away - 4 Rinks |
This was the last time we would visit Wookey Hole, as the owner of the Wookey Hole Caves is to reclaim the green for his own use - the club has been going since 1921 - so a sad time all round. Result: Banwell 65 shots - Wookey Hole 77 shots |
| Thursday 8th May - Wrington - Away - 2 Rinks |

| Tuesday 13th May - Wedmore - Home - 4 Rinks |
Fred Lewis was elevated to the high position of Club Captain for the night, but even Fred's magic could not prevent Banwell coming a close second in an enjoyable match.
