Inter-Secondary Schools Bowls
Last Monday our club began organising / hosting an inter-secondary schools competition. Schools are encouraged to enter teams of six players and they play against each other on Monday afternoons from 4.00 to 5.30 pm. The competition runs from Feb 15th until March 29th.

On the first day's bowling 56 students took part - a very impressive start! Well done, Wilma, for promoting this initiative and thanks to John Brock and Geoff Taylor for helping out.

Champion of Champion Triples (men and women)
Last Saturday Bowls Hawkes Bay used our greens to host the Champion of Champion Triples for both men and women. Blue skies, gentle breezes, many spectators and top bowling - all added to make Art Deco Weekend that much more enjoyable.

Volunteer Still Needed (2ND REMINDER)
The club needs a volunteer to paint the "clock" we use on the bowling green. It is not a real clock, of course, just an imaginary one but we use it to tell players when a game will finish. If you think you can help or you want more information please contact Craig Ennor (ph 8440401). Thank you.

The following venues have been confirmed.

QUOTE
Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

Make peace with your past so it wont screw up your present.

Don’t compare your life with others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Etiquette - At The Finish of Play
Bowls is a friendly game and all players should show sportsmanship and remember courtesy costs nothing. When the game is over shake hands, be friendly and congratulate the winner. All players should assist in returning mats, jacks and scoreboards at the close of play.

COACHING CORNER

Back To Basics
At the end of the day it is all about skills. The team or the player who has more skills than their opposition will mostly win. Bowlers need to become more aware of the importance of being able to perform the basics to a very high standard. It is all about the basics, knowing them and executing them. Only by revisiting them again and again in training sessions will the bowler truly establish the foundations for consistency of performance whereby their true potential in the sport can be achieved. There is no magic formula nor is there a quick fix. It takes a bucket full of self-discipline, commitment, passion and determination to be a highly successful bowler. Without these qualities the true potential of any bowler will seldom reach fruition and they will be left to wonder why. Good enough but not good enough.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHY DO YOU WANT IT?
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET IT?
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START?

Question: During a game of pairs (2.4.2) one of the players forgot to play her 4th bowl. She walked down the other end of the rink and waited for her partner to play her last two bowls. Each team then delivered one bowl before the spare 4^th bowl was discovered. What should now happen? Can the bowl still be played or is the shot forfeited?

LAW 47.4 Failing to play
If a bowl has been played by each team before the players discover that one of them has failed to play a bowl in the proper order, that player will lose the right to play the bowl.

If the result of an end has been agreed or the process of deciding the number of shots scored has started, a player who has failed to play a bowl will lose the right to play the bowl.

Noah's Ark
Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark .
ONE: Don't miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 70 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
