Thursday arrived, plenty of sun, wind for the afternoon roll-up and late in the day, players arriving for the start of this year’s Business House. There seemed to be such a crowd this year for the start of play, cars outside and players inside. When one thinks about it, which I hope they do, so many people are involved in …

I didn’t play in the 2x4x2 Gala held yesterday but have heard that it was a hot day for all from the sky as well as some very hot competition on the green. The information I received was that there was no four winner but there was strong play from the ‘three wins’ teams to take out the prizes. RESULTS: …

The weather was just fine today, just as it should be for some very fine bowls played by our four Women Junior Singles players. The Round Robin draw was made for our ladies and at 9.00am, play was under way. After two rounds, Diana was the only player with two wins while, June and Jan had a win each. What …

Not quite a summer feel about the afternoon but still a day that called out a very good number to have a roll-up. Teams, mainly of triples, got under way and as usual, some interesting results. A game near mine showed up a large difference in the scores between the two teams. We had heard that one player was in …

Into the Singles today for our 5 men and because of the weather, the players need 2 wins out of 3 because a fourth round had to be withdrawn because of the weather. As often happens in Singles, one is never quite sure how things will go and today was no different going on the results. At home we have …

A very good day for Shoota and his partner in today’s qualifying round in the Men’s Pairs. (Not sure who his partners is). Four wins are needed to get into post-section; Shoota and partner won five and didn’t need to win the sixth. It looked good for Neville and Gary yesterday but today, they missed out for post-section having only …

Late last night I went to the Nationals bowls site to see how the day had gone and it just showed me how little I knew about the event from my point of view. The days results in the Pairs had been listed and showed me that I wasn’t aware that two other teams from our club had entered the …

Five or our Juniors entered this years competition to win our club’s competition and be able to enter the Centre’s Champion of Champions in March 2013. A Round-robin draw had been made on Thursday and games got under way on Saturday morning. It was raining early in the day and it was necessary for play to be held on the …

Thursday 20 December 2012 This week saw the completion of my previous volume of ‘Bowling News’ and this afternoon we had some games on the cotula playing 2x4x2. It is so near to Christmas, it appears that not many members were available to play today: off shopping perhaps, decorating their homes, away visiting family members or just taking it easy. …

A very good evening last night at Cobb & Co where our members thad a Christmas get together. Lots of good food and lots of chatter. For many years, Christmas was celebrated at the club itself but this seemed always to mean that our kitchen was in use, either by club members or some firm putting on the meal. This …
