RESULTS
By my reckoning all the Championships have now been played. Here is my
list of winners plus runners-up. Please check them and
let me know if there are any mistakes or omissions. If you want to see
who won these events in years gone by you can click the results
link above. Results on the website go back to 2002-2003 when I first
set the site up. If you want to go back any further ask a geriatric
older than me (or cast your eyes over the Honours Board in the Mother
Club). |

LAWS OF BOWLS - NEW EDITION
If you would like to see the NEW LAWS regarding our sport
click
here (then bookmark, or save, the site)
I had mentioned in an earlier newsletter there were two new
laws in particular that might affect some players
-
OPTION TO GIVE MAT AND JACK AWAY (Law 18.4) this option will no longer
be available. The winner of an end will have to play first in the
following end.
-
SCORE CARD. AND DUTIES OF A SKIP (Law 37) The Skip will now keep the
score card in all disciplines.
The new Laws which were approved by World Bowls will come into effect
in New Zealand on
1st April 2011.

HOSED
OFF
Once again we are back to the old bad habits. Three
times this last week the last players to leave the
greens have not put the hoses out. You are the first
ones to complain to me about the sand and any associated
problems that arise. If there is someone still on the
greens when you leave please just give them a reminder.
A lot of our newer bowlers are possibly not aware of how
important our watering programme is, not only to the
present bowling conditions, but also the longevity of
our greens. We need your cooperation.
Thanks. Craig |

COACHING TIP - SETTING GOALS
Goal setting can be a powerful process in helping you improve
your bowls.
The following mnemonic (SMART) might help you set effective
goals.

Specific |
I want to draw 2 consecutive bowls close to the jack |
|
M |
Measurable |
Both bowls must finish less than 1 metre from the jack |
|
A |
Attainable |
Keep goals simple and within your reach |
|
R |
Relevant |
I want to be a better lead bowler for my team |
|

 FRIENDS
DAY - MARCH 30th
I hope
you are all making an effort to make this a good fun outing.
We do need entries as we have arranged something pretty
special for you this year. Remember this is a day for total
relaxation and is also an opportunity to invite some of your
bowling friends that you already have or have met through the
year. We do ask you to try to bring friends from other clubs,
but if you can't manage that, or if you're like me and haven't
got any, then grab whoever you can. It's
hetero triples,
whites, starting at 10:00 am with no entry fee
and this year we are providing you with lunch, we have
attracted a large N.Z. company who are doing a special
promotion.
We would
appreciate you making an effort to make this a good fun day.
Entries to Julie Haslett on 844 1253
Many thanks

ETIQUETTE -
DON’T SIT ON THE EDGES
If at any time you feel like sitting down DO NOT sit on
the bank as this is the official playing field.

QUESTION
- If you are playing in a competition in which both scorecards
and scoreboards are being used who does the board and who
keeps the card?
Law 37.3 Scoreboard v Scorecard
If a scoreboard is used as well as a score card, the second of
the team which won the toss for opening play should update the
scoreboard and the opposing SKIP should deal with the score
card.
One way which might help you to remember is to think of the
girl's name "Elsie" (or LC) L=loser C=Card
SCORE CARD.
AND DUTIES OF A SKIP (Law 37)
(As of April 2011) The Skip will now keep the score card in
all disciplines.

 CARD
CLUB - MONDAY NIGHTS
We are unable to Lawn Bowl in the dark unless of course you
have extremely good night vision, so why not come to the
Taradale Club for a fun evening, playing cards??? Four members
attended the inaugural Card Club on Monday Evening and had 3
games of 500. They were Les Stuart, Carol Young, Graham and
Cherrille Ede.
Les and Carol were the night’s winners, sadly Graham and
Cherrille missed out on the night, but a lot of fun was had
and the company was very pleasant indeed. It’s a relaxing way
to get away from the ‘GOGGLE BOX’, meet new people and enjoy
the company of like minded people.
The Card evening has begun, the nights are drawing in, so why
not come along to the Taradale Club at 7 o’clock on a Monday
evening and have a game or two of cards and get the old brain
box back into working order again. We not only play 500, but
Eucha, Cribbage and as the membership grows add more card
games, (Other than Bridge, as this club already exists).

QUOTE
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.
To realize the value of a friend or family member you only
have to lose one.

 THE
POWER OF THE HUMBLE WEED EATER
Two guys, Larry and Doug, are sitting at their favourite
bar drinking beer. Larry turns to Doug and says, 'You
know, I'm tired of going through life without an
education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the Community
College and sign up for some classes.'
Doug thinks it's a good idea and the two leave.
The next day, Larry goes down to the college and meets
Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic
classes: Maths, English, History, and Logic.
'Logic?' Larry says. 'What's that?'
The dean says, 'I'll give you an example. Do you own a
weed eater?'
'Yeah.'
'Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I
think that you would have a yard.'
'That's true, I do have a yard.'
'I'm not done,' the dean says. 'Because you have a yard, I
think logically that you would have a house.'
'Yes, I do have a house.'
'And because you have a house, I think that you might
logically have a family.'
'Yes, I have a family.'
'I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then
logically you must have a wife. And because you have a
wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual.'
'I am a heterosexual. That's amazing! You were able to
find out all of that because I have a weed eater.'
Excited to take the class now, Larry shakes the Dean's
hand and leaves to go meet Doug at the bar. He tells Doug
about his classes, how he is signed up for MathS, English,
History, and Logic.
'Logic?' Doug says, 'What's that?'
Larry says, 'I'll give you an example. Do you have a weed
eater?'
'No.'
'Then you're gay.' |
