Women's
Championship Pairs Final
Last Thursday afternoon Sheryl Glock (S) Barbara Exeter (L)
played Irene Newbold (S) and Tessa Hocking (L). I know it
must have been an enthralling final because Pete Townrow
phoned me before the game was barely over - great draw
bowling, clever run shots, good heads, big crowd, even ??
didn't leave for his usual beer. Congratulations to Sheryl
and Barbara on winning the Championship. Well done Irene and
Tessa, you were worthy opponents.
Sheryl, Barbara,
Irene, Tessa

Club only
2.4.2 Pairs - 7th February
Fourteen teams took part in this event. They could not
have asked for a better day and everyone who took part had
an enjoyable afternoon of fun. Thank you Bruce for making
this possible
HB Centre Men's and Women's
Open Pairs
Taradale entered seven teams in the HB Men's Pairs last
weekend - played at Port Ahuriri and Napier. In the HB
Women's Pairs (at Omarunui and Kia Toa) Taradale fielded four teams.
What a
contrast in weather from last week - sun, gentle wind and
low 20's (must have been ideal for the Church Road Winery Concert).
Paula Evans and Irene Newbold both made Post-Section
play - well done!
In the men's section we
had six teams who qualified for Day 2 - Frank
Grantham & Ross Hamilton, Phil Young & Jack Philip, Pete
Townrow & Dave Jenkins, Colin Salmon & Chris Downing,
John McLaughlin & Morris Williams, Roly Hoare & Gary
deRidder. Because so many Taradale teams qualified some
teams had to play one another.
When I left Phil Young and
Jack Philip were playing Murray Glassey & Paul Selby
in one semifinal. The other semifinal was between George
Ngamatua (Heretaunga) and Ces Bell (Omarunui)
PS Unofficially the final
will be between Ces Bell / Tony Mears and Murray Glassey
/ Paul Selby. |

Shirley Pittar R.I.P.
It was with great sadness we heard that Shirley Pittar,
from the Bay View Bowling Club, passed away during the
week. Her interest in the lives of those around her
and cheerful positive approach to life is an
inspiration to all who knew her. We offer our sympathy
to her husband, Tony, and their family, plus their
many friends and bowling club mates. May she rest in
peace. |

HB Centre Match Report
The latest Match Report from Bowls HB has been posted. There are
a number of interesting points in this report and I would urge
you to click this
Match
Report link and have a read. Some of the topics included are:
Women's Open 4's
Women's Open Singles
Mixed 2.4.2 - suggested changes for 2011
Discussion on the format for a possible
interclub next year
Reminder - Other clubs probably need to be reminded that
centre does have first preference for their greens on centre
tournament days. We have been turned down by many clubs when we
have made requests to use their greens. |

QUOTE
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the
life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never
decreases by being shared. |
Etiquette -
Avoid Cliques
The friendliness of Bowls is destroyed by members who form
exclusive groups. Such behaviour is not in the best
interests of the club, is opposed to the etiquette of the
game, and should be avoided. |

COACHING CORNER |
|
FITNESS FOR BOWLS:
If anyone says, “You don’t need to be fit to play bowls”
don’t believe them. If you want to do well in club
championships or Centre events then heed the warning and
do something about your fitness.
Most bowlers develop good leg strength from playing the
game but often neglect the stabilising muscles in the
torso which contribute to a smooth delivery. Good
cardiovascular and muscular endurance means less
fatigue, especially at the end of the day. Most bowlers
use walking for exercise to develop fitness but a
variety of other methods (jogging, cycling, swimming)
can be used to develop endurance. Stretching for
flexibility increases the muscles’ range of motion; this
promotes ease of delivery and more consistency on the
green. |
Question: Occasionally you come across a player who wants to
go up and look at the head after each delivery. When may a
player go up and look at the head?
Appendix A.4 Restricting the movement of players during
play
After delivering their first bowl, players will only be
allowed to walk up to the head under the following
circumstances.
Singles game - after delivery of their third and fourth
bowls.
Pairs game (each player playing four bowls)
the leads: after delivery of their third and fourth bowls;
and
the skips: after delivery of their second, third and fourth
bowls.
Triples game (each player playing three bowls)
the leads: after delivery of their third bowl;
the seconds: after delivery of their second and third bowls;
and
the skips: after delivery of each of their bowls. |

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of
your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will
give you a life span of twenty years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years
and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do
tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life
span.'
The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time
to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God
agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field
with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give
milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span
of sixty years.'
The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty
years.. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God
agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and
enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.'
But the human said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the
ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?'
'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark
at everyone. |
