Men's & Women's Centre Open Triples
Wet weather and sodden greens at Omarunui and Port Ahuriri meant a late start on Saturday in both the men's and women's Centre Triples. Three games were played (instead of the usual four) with two and three winners eligible for Day 2. Bowls Taradale was well represented with two women's teams and six men's.

Two teams made Post-Section play.
Women - Angela Boyd, Lynda Boyd and Vivien McLauchlan
Men - John McLaughlin, Terry Shakeshaft and Les Stuart (whoopee!! - I am allowed to say that)

Unofficial Results
Men: Bruce Stewart (Heretaunga) beat Ian Herbert (H.Nth)
Women: Sally Sutcliffe beat Olga Taylor
  Club 2.4.2

QUOTE
 Always tell the truth,
not only because it is the right thing to do,
but because it gives you such an advantage
over the man who is trying to remember his lies.
ETIQUETTE
Decide First – before removing bowls
Bowls should not be moved until the shot(s) has been decided.
Don't delay the game.
 
COACH
Smooth Release / Straight Lines

 Sharon Sims says, “Success in bowls comes down to consistent execution of just two essential skills.

·       Smooth release (rolling the bowl away on its running surface)

·       Straight lines (delivering the bowl consistently down the intended line).

When introducing new players to the game these two skills are all we should be focusing on."
 
 
Hope they left us some biscuits I've got my biscuit I wish I could remember where I put my biscuit That's his 3rd teaspoon of sugar  

Question: An end is killed and one skip wants the bowls taken back to the end that has just been played but the other does not. What happens? Does the team that placed the mat have the choice? Does the team that killed the end have the choice? Is there another solution? Do you know the law relating to dead ends? 

Law 31        Dead End 
A dead end should be replayed in the same direction unless the skips or opponents in Singles agree to play it in the opposite direction.  If the jack and bowls need to be transferred to the opposite end of the rink before the end is replayed, they should be CARRIED up the rink.
 

Set It Free
If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it was, and always will be, yours.
If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.
If it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and never behaves as if you actually set it free in the first place, you either married it or gave birth to it!
GALA  March 10th 2010 
Please save your old magazines, books and jigsaws. Start potting your cuttings, preserving season is near, maybe an extra jar can be put aside for our stall.
  
Any odd balls of knitting wool that can be used by our 'crafty ladies' would be gratefully received. There will be a basket available in the shed for your donations of wool.

Happy Birthday, Shirley
