COLIN
McLEAN R.I.P.
During the club's Hetero Triples last Friday we heard that
Colin Mclean had passed away earlier that morning. Colin
was a relatively new bowler (Year 6) who enjoyed nothing
more than trying to beat his opponents. He was a very tall man
and his body sometimes didn't like getting down low but
when he launched the bowl it generally sailed straight and
true as if guided by GPS. He was fun to be with, he
enjoyed the company of fellow bowlers and he always
supported those he played with. Only a few months ago he
and his wife, Merle, had been on holiday in Fiji. The
speed of his decline in health took so many of us by
surprise. We mourn his passing and offer Merle and family
members our deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace. |

HB MEN'S AND WOMEN'S JUNIOR PAIRS
Last weekend was devoted to bowlers who have been playing for
fewer than five years. The men's Junior teams played at Bowls Taradale. The weather was pleasant, if a trifle windy, but the
calibre of players was such that spectators were treated to
first class bowling. Unofficially I heard only four men's
teams made it through to Post Section play and two of those
teams contained our men. Both were composite teams (Gary deRidder & Ben Sale, Richard Hocking & Dean Drummond).
In the women's Junior pairs there were only eight teams
entered so it was decided to play a round robin. Each team
would play four games on Saturday and three on Sunday. Barbara
Exeter and Freda Tiedeman, a new member to our club, was our
sole entry.Unofficial
results:
Men - 1st: Paul Harrison & Mike Le Geyt 2nd:
Gary deRidder & Ben Sale (WELL DONE, BOYS)
Women - 1st: Louise Bateman & Jo Hayes 2nd: ???

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP PAIRS
cont
On Wednesday morning
a further game was played in the Women's Championship Pairs.
Two-lifers Sheryl Glock & Barbara Exeter played Colleen McLaughlin &
Del Girven who had one life. The game see-sawed for much of the time
but a decisive last end put Colleen and Del in front 19-17. That
leaves four teams still alive; both of the above teams are still in
the championship plus
Sue
Brock & Maree Turner and Angela Boyd & Linda Boyd.
Each team has one life.

 FLUID INTAKE
If you want to maintain maximum
concentration during a game of bowls it is important you keep
up your water intake.
This becomes even more critical when playing for lengthy
periods. "A sip on the water bottle every second end" is a good
suggestion.
Avoid alcohol because it is a diuretic (increases unwanted
dehydration).
A man goes to the doctor and tells him that he hasn't been feeling well lately.
The doctor examines him, leaves the room and comes back with three
different bottles of pills.
The doctor says, "Take the green pill with a big glass of water when
you get up. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch.
Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big
glass of water."
Startled to be put on so much medicine the man stammers, "Jeez doc,
exactly what's my problem?"
The Doctor says, "You're not drinking enough water."

ETIQUETTE: SPECTATORS
MUST BE NEUTRAL
When watching a game always observe strict neutrality.
Advice or criticism must not be given.

THREE WISE MEN
Gordon, Allan, Dennis |
QUOTE: Good humour is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for
anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps
friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity
and contentment.
QUESTION:
Now and again you get disagreements among those measuring an
end. Sometimes a player mentions the result then kicks the
bowls away before the other player has time to agree or
disagree. What should happen when you are deciding an end?
Law 39
Both Sides Must Agree
No bowl should be moved until the opponents have agreed
whether it is a shot or not, except where a bowl has to be
moved so that another bowl can be measured. As the shots are
agreed, each shot bowl can be removed from the head. Shot
bowls can be placed in a group where they will not interfere
with measuring. If shot bowls have been placed in a group, the
number of bowls in the group should be agreed by the
opponents. The skips and the seconds or the marker where
appropriate should be told (or have signalled to them) the
number of shots scored in each end.
 AGING:
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about
your age and start bragging about it.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because
by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good
friends.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want
people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long
way and some of the roads weren't paved.

 LONDON LAWYER V GLASGOW COP
A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Glasgow copper.
He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from
LONDON and is certain that he has a better education then any Jock cop.
He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Glasgow cop’s
expense.
Glasgow cop says, " Licence and registration, please."
London Lawyer says, "What for?"
Glasgow cop says, "Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
London Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Glasgow cop says, "Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. Licence and
registration, please."
London Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"
Glasgow cop says, "The difference is, ye huvte to come to complete stop,
that's the law, Licence and registration, please!"
London Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow
down and stop, I'll give you my licence and registration; and you give me
the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."
Glasgow cop says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir."
The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.
The Glasgow cop takes out his baton and starts beating seven bells out of
the lawyer and says,
"Dae ye want me to stop, or just slow doon?" |
