I KNOW THE FACE
How often have you been in the position where a person's face is
familiar but you can't think of their name?
Does that happen at our club?
Do you have trouble remembering the names of all our newer players?
Imagine how much harder it must be for the new bowlers to try and
recall the names of everyone else.
As I was coming to roll-up on Thursday
one of our bowlers asked me why we don't all wear name-tags. I didn't
have an answer. Should it be something we need to think about? If you
feel it is please say something to one of our committee members and
ask them to consider the matter. If you do nothing then nothing
happens. |

 CREATION
THEORY
A little girl asked her mother, “How did the human race appear?”
The mother answered, “God made Adam & Eve and they had children and so
was all mankind made.”
Two days later the little girl asked her father the same question.
The father answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys from which the
human race evolved.”
The confused little girl returned to her mother and said, “Mum, how is
it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and
Dad said they developed from monkeys?”
The mother answered, “Well dear, it is very simple. I told you about
my side of the family, and your father told you about his.” |

LAYING THE MAT
-
Face the number of the rink nearest to you to establish the rink
centre line
-
Take the mat in both hands and walking backwards up the green
place the front edge between the 2m mark and the front distance
peg.
-
The mat may be straightened at any
time.
DELIVERING THE JACK
Hold the jack on the 3 main fingers with the thumb directly
opposite the middle finger and wrist locked
Establish where the jack is to finish
Place the anchor foot slightly off centre on the mat facing
directly up the rink centre line
Roll (not throw) the jack using the same action as for a bowl
This is how you centre a jack when
it passes beyond the 2m mark |
STANDING ON THE MAT
Do I have to stand with both feet on the mat before I deliver a
bowl?
Law 20
Position on the mat
Before delivery a player should be standing on the mat with one
foot fully on the mat. At the moment they deliver the jack or a
bowl, the player should have all or part of one foot on or above
the mat.
ETIQUETTE
Visitors are always made welcome |

 INFORMATION
SHARING DATABASE
(from Peter Turnbull)
Some of you
will have read in the latest edition of the Bowls New Zealand
magazine upshot
that they are setting up a nationwide database.
Once they have the required bowlers’ contact information BowlsNZ
can then roll out features to clubs that will include:
-
quick and easy
communications to club members
-
up to date
member information – all info will then be stored in one place
on-line which makes membership returns to Centres easier and
less time consuming
-
direct access
to BowlsNZ latest sponsors promotions for everyone on the
database
-
fortnightly
e-newsletters which will give you up to date information on what
is happening in the bowling community, and
members can login themselves and update their own information.
The information
BowlsNZ requires includes members name, address, phone number and
email address. We, as a Club, will proceed and provide members’
information only if we get the support from our members. If we do
proceed with this database members can always at any time ‘block &
delete’ the site if they no longer wish to continue receiving any
further information from BowlsNZ.
Please
return-email to our newsletter editor:
|
YES – I agree to let my
information go to BowlsNZ |
|
NO – I do not want my information
go to BowlsNZ |

PRINCESS
ALEXANDRA RETIREMENT VILLAGE
On Thursday 13 September we have our annual Spring Dance with
the band No Wurz. The band is playing from 6pm – 8pm and there
will be drinks and nibbles provided. If any of your members
would like to come along please RSVP to Reception on 8359085
by Tuesday 11th September.
On a more intellectual note we have an Age Concern Seminar on
Thursday 20th September at 1.30 and Sarah Potter will be
talking about the International Day of the Older Person and
what that means to us. I presume if you can play Monday to
Friday bowls you might qualify!!
Again RSVP to reception on 8359085 by Tuesday 18th September.
The village is 8 years old now and this month we are having
our main building refurbished on the outside. This will be a
big job with scaffolding and netting 4 storeys high. Once this
is finished the contractors will move on to the Rest home,
Hospital and Special Care wings followed by the 2 storey
independent apartment block. We will be sparkling by the time
they have finished.
Thanks again
Regards

 OPERATING
THEATRE
An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and
he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the
operation.
As he was about to get the anaesthesia, he asked to speak to his
son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son; do your best, and just remember, if it
doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going
to come and live with you and your wife...." |
