New B Green In Use
Last Friday in the Open Over 60's Hetero Triples our new green was
used for the first time and came through with flying colours.
Although the
surface was heavy, as you might expect from a brand new surface, it was
also true. From here on it can only improve. Well done all those
who worked on our new amenity.
2nd Twice
Last weekend saw Bowls Napier host the Men's and Women's
Junior Pairs. In both events a Taradale team reached the finals but
were pipped by Bay View. Congratulations to Bay View for setting a
high standard - last week the Junior 5's and this week the Junior
pairs. Congratulations also to our Taradale finalists; Mandy and
Angela Boyd (women's final) and Russell Turner and Dave Jenkins
(men's final).

Wise Words |
BE A GOOD LOSER:
What you are as a person is far more important that what you are
as a bowler.
If you can't accept losing, you don’t deserve to win.
|
 |
Walk The Line
Don’t encroach on the adjoining rink. When walking up the green
try and keep to the middle. Remember other players on adjoining
rinks.

ON THE MAT
Place anchor foot (R foot if a right hander) on centre of mat
pointing along delivery line
Place lead foot (L foot) adjacent and parallel
to anchor foot
Feet are hip-width apart and weight evenly
distributed
Shoulders and hips square to the intended line
Body relaxed and upright
Anchor foot remains on mat during delivery
Most of the weight transfers to the lead foot
as the bowler steps out to bowl

THE DANGER BOWL
Skip to lead: Good bowl! You just need a bit more grass and a
bit more weight.
Skip to Second: You need to change your hand, and put on a foot!
Second: 'Which is the danger bowl?'
Skip to Second: 'The one you’re holding.” |

The Law |
Do You Have To Mark Every Toucher?
Law 25 Marking a toucher
If, in the opinion of either skip or opponent or the marker, a
toucher comes to rest in a position in which marking it would be
likely to move the bowl or alter the head, the bowl should not be
marked but nominated as a toucher instead.
When Is A Toucher Not A Toucher?
A bowl, which is not a toucher, comes into contact with the jack in
the ditch. Can that bowl now be deemed a toucher?
Law 24 Touchers
No bowl will be a toucher if it plays onto, or comes into contact
with, the jack when the jack is in the ditch.

Happy Birthday, Fay
This was one of those "special" birthdays that I
referred to in my last newsletter. Although it was a few days ago
all your bowling mates hope you had a great birthday, Fay. Looking
at some of the photos I wonder if I should also put them on YouTube. Thanks, Val.

Bowls Collector
I never cease to be amazed by man's ingenuity. This photo
was sent to me by Merilyn Dine - and I imagine not very many
of our bowlers would have seen something quite like it.
Hi John
I took this photo at
Plymouth in England. It is a gadget for gathering up the
bowls at the end of the head. Saves the feet and the
back!
