The KCBC were not sure whether players were still interested in this event but with 48 players entered for the Veterans Tournament at our Club today, the signs were that it is still a popular event.
Players enter as individuals and are issued cards which show them what rinks they will be playing on and who the other two players are to make up their team for each game. This is a great way to mix players up and meet bowlers from other clubs.
The day was fine, the green ran well so it proved to be a good day.

He was also able to demonstrate his skill in his delivery as seen below:
It’s me birfday and I’m preparing my delivery to the head.
See, this is how you get two shots!!
Happy Birthday Brian
