Lilian
Baird R.I.P.
Last Friday (yes - the 13th) dawned bright but no one could
have known the sadness the day would eventually bring.
Midway through the afternoon we heard Lilian had suffered a massive stroke
and it cast a shadow
over the whole club. Lilian was one of those people you
could not miss. She had a large band of very loyal friends,
she always wanted the best for her club and she spoke her mind. She volunteered her time and
talents freely. The gardens around our club bear testimony
to her gardening skills, she assumed
responsibility for seeing we were. kitted out in correct
uniform, she was always willing to act as a Marker in
Championship Singles, and she served tirelessly on
committees. I was impressed with her desire to keep dialogue
with anyone who was ill whether it be at home or in
hospital. The cards and flowers she sent on our club's behalf
brought sunshine to those who needed it most. Our club
is the poorer for the loss of Lilian.
Lilian told me
several times (in her own quiet way) that she hated having
her photo taken so I am really scraping the bottom
of the barrel trying to get any photographic record of her.

Women's Junior
Championship Singles
Sunny calm conditions greeted
the Junior Women when they began their Championship Singles
last Saturday. They may not have the experience of many
other club members but nobody told them they were
inexperienced. They fought hard, played a range of shots
and impressed onlookers with the skills they had
acquired. When play resumed on Sunday four bowlers
remained; Angela Boyd (2 lives) and Nancy Dunnett, Barbara
Exeter and Colleen McLaughlin each with one life. Angela
beat Colleen and Barbara beat Nancy so that left Barbara and
Angela (two-lifer) to play out the final. Those who watched
this game were impressed with the high standard of play.
Angela eventually won 21-17 Congratulations Angela on
another impressive Championship title. |

 Men's Championship Singles
When this competition continued yesterday two players still had two lives; Lex
Parsons and Frank Grantham. One-lifers included
Laurie Mclean, Morris Williams, Ross Hamilton, Ray Falvey,
Bruce Mitchell, Rolly Hoare and Phil Young. By early
afternoon these numbers were down to four; Lex Parsons,
Rolly Hoare, Morris Williams and Frank Grantham .... and by
the close of play two were left, Morris W and Lex P. Each has
one life so they will play the final at a date yet to be
announced.

Women's Championship Triples
The result of this game got under my radar. It was
played while I was away and I forgot to check when I returned.
Congratulations to

Shirley Goffin who beat Wendy Mitchell, Val Ives and

Question:
How can you tell who has possession of the rink?
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 has come to
rest, allowing time to mark a toucher, possession of the
rink will transfer to the opposing player/team. On end
changeovers, do not walk in front of the player whose bowl
is in motion until it has come to rest, as this player/team
still has possession of the rink. The player may give you
permission to do so, up until then you are to follow behind
them.

Are you a
new
car or an old car?
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be
thinking about trading it is for a newer model. I've got
bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint
job is getting a little dull. But that's not the worst
of it. My headlights are out of
focus, my traction is not as graceful as it once was, it
takes me hours to reach my maximum speed and my fuel
burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it .....
almost every time I sneeze, cough or splutter either my
radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires! |
