 OUR
BOYS ALMOST DID IT ...
HB Men's and Women's Open Triples
Four men's teams and one women's team competed in the HB
Triples played over the weekend. Warm summery weather
on Saturday made for ideal bowling conditions. Sunday was a
little different when strong winds made play more testing.
Unfortunately the women's team
did not reach Day 2. The men had more success with
two teams making
Post-Section play. They were P.Young,
E.Friedlander, J.Philip ... B.Mitchell, M.Williams, J.McLaughlin.
Phil, Ernie and Jack almost pulled off the big one! They led Bay
View for much of the final but went down on the last end.
Congratulations on getting further than most and bowling so
well.
The Women's final was won by
Sally Sutcliffe's team from Kia Toa
(results are unofficial)

Q: Where can men over the age of 50 find younger, sexy women
who are interested in them?
A: Try a bookstore, under fiction.
|
 SCONES
It is very easy to take things for granted ... and at times we
are probably all responsible.
Last weekend, the weather was cold, even ugly, but it was so
nice between games to have a freshly baked scone to eat.
Thank you to those generous people (men and
women) who get up early and work these kitchen wonders for us.

 THE
SKIP EVERYBODY WANTS
To make a success of skipping players must have a lot of confidence in
their own ability. They must be top-notch draw bowlers because more
often than not this is the shot they have to play. If their draw shot
is not their best and most consistent shot they should not be
skipping. They must be capable of good trail shots, firm shots to rest
bowls or push them through and must also be accurate drivers. The skip
should only drive when they can afford to do so. Every shot must have
a definite objective and if there is a danger that one’s own bowls
will be lost then the shot should not be played.
The skip must try to get the very best out of the side. Stressing the
obvious such as too narrow, too wide or too fast will not give the
poor player who has played the bad shot any confidence. Skips must
overlook poor shots and let the players know they believe in them and
know they will do better. Harmony in a side is just as important as
the bowls that are played.
Skips have to realise that every player in the side is doing their
best. If they give the impression, by word or action, that they have
lost confidence in the team then it is skip’s fault when the standard
of play quickly deteriorates.

STANDING ON YOUR HEAD
Stand at least two metres behind the bowls on the head making sure you
do not kick any bowls accidentally – if so, your opposing player
replaces it. You can indicate with your foot where you want a bowl to
finish but remove your foot as soon as the bowl is greened. Stand
still till the players have delivered their bowls. |
|
Question:
When you are having trial ends how many bowls can you use, how many
trial ends can you have and on what rink must you play?
Trial Ends Law 18.1
Before the start of play in a game, or before continuing an unfinished
game on another day, one trial end may be played in each direction.
Trial ends must be played on the same rink which the game is to be
played on. Each player must use only the number of bowls that will be
played per end in game. Opponents of the team that started first trial
end should start second trial end. The team that starts the first end
puts the mat down, delivers the jack then the distance does not alter
during the course of the trial end. When each bowl comes to rest the
marker or any player can remove it and place it towards front of
ditch. If a bowl moves the jack, the jack should be replaced to its
former position.

QUOTE
Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.

CRAIG ENNOR
 Born (not created) 1941 in Napier. Lived my whole formative years at
Westshore. An amazing place for a young lad to grow up. Spent untold
hours on the beach following my lifelong passion for the sea and the
pursuit of its inhabitants. Supposedly educated at Westshore School,
Napier Intermediate and Napier Boys High. Left school at the end of
1958, theoretically to go and work on a farm for the school holidays,
but "forgot" to go back for my 6th form year. Spent the next few years
as a single shepherd on relatively big properties before getting
married to the "Duchess" in 1964 where I worked as a shepherd on the
Lagoon Farm at Westshore, before taking on a farm manager's position
at the back of Takapau/Norsewood. Spent nearly 10 great years there
before the owner's sons returned home necessitating me to move.
Farming was heading in to a major downturn which, in a nutshell,
forced us, now with two children, to move back to Napier where I
started a new career in the wool scouring trade. This occupation
lasted for 10 years involving a shift to Wellington. We moved to
Hamilton in 1985 to embark on a new venture in the tourism arena,
however this saw me made redundant in 1987 and after several months of
being told I was "too old" to be employable, at the grand old age of
46, I might add, I finally went into the insurance field. This career
move worked very well for me until in 1995 when family circumstances
necessitated a move back to Napier. It had always been our intention
to return "home" to Napier anyway, but was just forced on us about 5
years earlier than planned.I officially retired in 2001 and still regard Hawkes Bay as a
wonderful region and am extremely grateful for the friends and
fellowship I still enjoy.

EDNA'S HEROIC ACT
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day
while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph
suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and
pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of
Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged
from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally
stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good
news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since
you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and
saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that
your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe
belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' |
|
|
|
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry ...
How soon can I go home?'
