 Women's Singles and Men's
Triples
Last weekend was a busy one. Our women
players fought out their Singles Championship on A-Green
while the men contested the Triples Championship on B-Green.
Cloudy cool weather made for ideal bowling conditions and
those who spent time watching were privy to the usual
high standard of bowling that our club is known for.
Barbara Exeter and Mandy Boyd contested the women's final -
and what a contest! Both played superb bowls all the way
through with Mandy clinching the title 21-19.
Congratulations to both players and thank you, Mandy and
Barbara, for giving us
such an enthralling display.
In the men's championship the
finalists were Jack Halka (s), Frank Grantham, Ewen
McLauchlan and Ernie Friedlander (s), Bryan Gilbertson,
Johnny Ward. I told Jack Halka during the week it was greedy
to win two titles in two weeks ... but he didn't listen. Not
only did his team win but they did so with their two lives still intact.
They did not have the final all their own way. Ernie, Bryan
and Johnny made them work hard for their 14-12 victory. Congratulations Jack, Frank and Ewen on a well-deserved
Championship title.

Question: I was playing a game when the opposing skip
said to me, “Watch so-and-so, he’s delivering his bowl
before the other person’s bowl has come to rest.”
When does possession of the rink transfer to the other
team?
Law 35 Possession of the Rink
Possession of the rink will belong to the player or team
whose bowl is being played. As soon as each bowl comes to
rest, possession of the rink will transfer to the opposing
player or team after allowing time for marking a toucher as
soon as it comes to rest.

ETIQUETTE
- Behind The Mat
Hand your opponent’s bowl to him/her or place it next to the
mat.
Stand at least 1 metre behind the mat.
The bowls should
be to the rear and side of the mat. If the bowls are
directly behind the mat they can be a danger to those
players who step back after delivering a bowl.
There should
not be too much talking behind the mat; it can disrupt the
player’s concentration.

A Man
With a Bucket
An elderly man in Queensland had owned a large property for
several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks
where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had
been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had
some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit
trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to
look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He
grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit. As he
neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with
glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women
skinny-dipping in his dam.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to
the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not
coming out until you leave!"
The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you
ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked."
Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the
crocodile."
