 Welcome
Home
Familiar faces are beginning to appear again around the
green often after stints overseas. I thought I saw in the
distance Michael and Ivy G (back from Europe), Wanda has
returned from USA, Morrie S and Bryan J are just home from Oz,
Noeline G from Canada, Colin McL must be due home soon from Fiji
and Gig de R emailed the other day from Australia - home 16th
September. There must be others I don't know about or have
forgotten to mention - welcome home, all!
Farewell soon to Ray K as he
and his wife head to Morocco for a short holiday. Travel safely. |
Saturday
Roll-up - even when Championships are on
When Championships are being played there are usually some rinks
available for members to use for Saturday roll-up. Last Saturday
no members came for a roll-up yet there were at least four rinks
that could have been used. Please remember this for future
Championship events. |

Women's and Men's Championship Fours
The club greens have been a hive of activity this past fortnight
as bowlers prepared for the first championship event of the
season. The bad weather stayed away and both days saw a wide
range of bowling skills. It was especially pleasing to see so
many members drop in at some time to watch and enjoy play as the
two championships progressed. Congratulations to the winners.

QUOTE
Giving someone all your love
Is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
|
 |
Practice Makes Perfect
Practice sessions develop and build on existing skills.
Match play is where those skills will be demonstrated.
Quality practice induces and requires high levels of
concentration. This will flow on into match performance.
Focus attention on developing sound routines until they
become automatic.
Bowlers need to practise skills on a daily basis. It is only
by doing this that one can become good at the skill. Some
examples of skills might be: Draw to a jack, draw to a
spilled jack, draw to the ditch, wrest a bowl with a
yard-on, drive a bowl or the jack, play a run shot, deliver
the jack – short, medium, long.

QUESTION:
Do I have to stand with both feet on the mat before I
deliver a bowl?
Law 20 Position on the mat
Before delivery a player should be standing on the mat with
one foot fully on the mat. At the moment they deliver the
jack or a bowl, the player should have all or part of one
foot on or above the mat.
|
|
ETIQUETTE -
Be Mindful of Your Opponents
People play bowls for enjoyment.
It will be more satisfying if you are mindful of your
opponents.
Be ready.
Always be on time for the start of play and for the start of
each game.
Start and finish a game with a handshake.
