Final Update
The excellent weather has enabled
Tiger Turf to keep to the schedule for completion by the end
of September. The Astro grass was laid on Tuesday /Wednesday
and the top dressing of 14 tons of sand was put onto the Green
on Friday. Unfortunately we require a further 2/3 ton of sand
to complete the top dressing and hopefully this will be
delivered on Monday. If the sand arrives on Monday the Green
could be handed over on Tuesday evening. The final grooming
and rolling will take 2/3 days before the Green is ready to
play on. Dave J.
Thank you to the many who played a role in
making our new green become a reality; those with vision who
planned the project and set it in motion, the many who worked on
it, those who gave monetary support and the many who encouraged
and supported the venture. Special gratitude must go to the men
who came from beyond Hawkes Bay and worked so hard. Well done,
everyone.

Establishing The Correct Line
Stand 1m behind the mat
Select a permanent object on the far bank
Form an imaginary line back through the mat to your preshot
position
Establish a focus point along that line where you will look
during the delivery
Move onto the mat
Place the lead foot adjacent and parallel (but hip width apart)
from the anchor foot
Deliver the bowl along the line aiming at the focus point

For
a bit of fun would you like to send me a photo of yourself and
let the others guess who it is? A scanned image is best but if
you don't have a scanner I can do it for you from a photo.
Can anyone guess who these
people are?

The Law |
Jack Low or Jack High
You are standing on the mat watching your bowl roll towards
the jack. Sometimes a bowl finishes past the jack, sometimes it
stops before the jack. If your bowl is 1 metre short of the jack
is it high or low?

Have Patience After A Bowl Is Delivered
If you are waiting for your opponent to deliver the last bowl wait
until he/she moves off the mat before placing the mat on the bank.
Wait for him/her to move up the green before you move off. |

HAWKE'S BAY COACHING ASSOCIATION
The Centre Board is keen to set up a Coaching Association in
Bowls Hawkes Bay. We believe it will not only benefit
Coaches but also improve the standard of Bowls. With the new
Board structure it is important that groups like Coaches
have an input into the organisation and operation of Bowls
and a means of communicating with the Board.
Membership is Open To: Certified
Coaches, Non-Certified Coaches (or non-current Coaches), Any
person who is interested and may already coach at a Club
level, Interested Bowlers
Refer to Bowls HB website
for more details |
Handbook Errors
We are aware that there are
some errors and omissions ( not all our fault ). One error
we would like to draw your attention to is the Umpire’s
tournament at Havelock North Tuesday 18th
November. It should be hetero triples NOT fours,
and the start time is 10 a.m. NOT 9a.m. |

News |
Bunny Heslin
R.I.P.
We were sad to hear of the passing of Bunny during the week
(21/9/08). Bunny was a regular weekday bowler, often stayed for
a drink afterwards and was always a pleasure to meet and
socialise with. He was a real gentleman and we will miss him and
his Southland burr. Bunny's funeral service was held last
Tuesday in Henderson, Auckland.
Bay View has a
website
Four local clubs (Taradale, Heretaunga, Havelock North, Bay
View) now have websites and links to each are at the top of this
page. If you get a chance have a look at them. Jo Hayes has been
responsible for getting Bay View onto the internet. Well done Jo
and congratulations Bay View.
