WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP JUNIOR SINGLES
In damp drizzly conditions this event continued yesterday with four women still in
contention; Tessa Hocking (2 lives),
Cheryl Simpson,
Margaret Frith and
Olive deRidder. In the first round of play Tessa beat Margaret and
Cheryl beat Olive. That set up a potential final between Tessa and
Cheryl. Tessa won that game with both her lives intact.
Congratulations, Tessa, on becoming this year's Junior Championship
winner - enjoy Otago University. Well done, Cheryl, for being a
finalist. That's quite an achievement - you got further than most.

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
JUNIOR PAIRS
Three junior women's pairs took part in this championship earlier
today; Margaret Packe and June Taylor, Cheryl Simpson and Joy Carter, Tianna
White and Olive DeRidder.
Tianna and Olive lost both their games
but that is too simplistic. An extra end had to be played in their
game against Margaret and June before they succumbed. Margaret and
June then went on to win against Cheryl and Joy. Next Saturday morning
Margaret and June (2 lives) will play a potential final against Cheryl
and Joy.
PS This weekend Cheryl Simpson lost
her father. All club members extend our sympathy to her and Allan in
their loss |

 TEN REASONS NOT TO JOG
1. My grandmother started walking five kilometres a day when she
was 60.
She's 97 now and we don't know where the heck she is.
2. The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could
hear heavy breathing again.
3. I joined a health club last year. I spent about 400 dollars
and haven't lost a pound.
Apparently, you have to show up.
4. I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out
what I'm doing.
5. I don't exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes,
he would have put them further up our body.
6. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people
who annoy me.
7. I have flabby thighs but fortunately, my stomach covers them.
8. The advantage of exercising every day is that you die
healthier.
9. If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a
small country.
10. I don't jog. It makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

QUESTION:
Every now and then you see bowlers standing, or walking, on their
neighbour’s rink. Is this OK?
Law 36.2 Position of Players in
relation to a neighbouring rink
A player should not go into a neighbouring rink where play is in
progress.
A player should neither go into nor walk along a neighbouring rink,
even if it is not being used, while an opponent is about to deliver or
is actually delivering a bowl.
If the rink of play is an outside rink, a player should neither go
into nor walk along the section of green that lies between the outside
side boundary of the rink and the side ditch while an opponent is
about to deliver or is actually delivering a bowl.
NB: If your team’s bowl is coming through the neighbouring rink,
inform them to watch their head, do not go rushing into their head
unless you are invited to. |

ETIQUETTE TIP
MOBILE PHONES
Mobile Phones should not be used on or around the green.
Some people may find them distracting, even disruptive.

 I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS STARTING
LAST WEEK
(I found these in my inbox last
Monday)
# How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships? - On the
rocks
# What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships? -
Leeks
# When the captain of the ill fated Costa Concordia was asked if he
knew where he was going he replied, "off course."
# The captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock. That's
more than can be said for his ship.
# What's the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken
cruise liner Costa Concordia? Nothing - The bottoms dropped out of
both. |

WE'VE HIT 1200
Last year our website managed to score 1100 hits in a month but the total hits on
our site in the past four weeks has reached 1206.
That means we are possibly doing something right ..... or ..... people
are bored and are just filling in time!

 RESTHOME
NURSING
One evening a family brings their elderly mother to a nursing home and
leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning the
nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair
at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seems OK, but after a while she
slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses
immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she
seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The
nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright.
This goes on all morning. Later the
family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they
treating you all right?" they ask. "It's pretty nice," she replies.
"Except they won't let you fart."
