Results of the NZ Chartered
Clubs Tournament at Christchurch.

know) Hawke's Bay teams are competing in this fixture -
Taradale Club, Murray Glassey, Phil Young, Jack Philip and
Ross Hamilton, and Heretaunga Club, Jim Riddell, Dave
Porteous, Jim Hoskyn and Ron Glew.
Day One - was played in
extreme heat of 43 degrees -our guys would be accustomed to
that! Both teams won two games - from three played.
Day Two - Taradale have scored 5 wins from 6 games
and need only one win (from two to be played today) to qualify.
Heretaunga won 3 from 6 and therefore cannot qualify in the
Championship event - they will play in the consolation 'Kelly'
plate.
Day Three - Phil advised tonight, that the Taradale
team lost the first round of post- section play.

Etiquette for Markers on the Bowling Green
 |
"So if you would a Marker be
Then make it worth your while
To do the job quite capably
And do it with a smile." |
When a player has delivered the jack the marker should centre it
then stand back and to one side, ensuring that all rink markers
are visible to the players.
He should answer any specific question (from the player in
possession of the rink) about the state of the head. He should
not offer any additional information that has not been
requested.
If you are unsure of the situation don't guess. You can offer an
opinion but make sure that the player who is asking the question
is made aware of this.
The marker should mark all touchers immediately they come to
rest and remove chalk marks from non touchers. He should also
remove all dead bowls from the rink with the players' agreement.
He should also mark the position the Jack which is in the ditch.
The marker should not move any bowls until the end is complete
and the players have agreed the number of shots.
He shall measure disputed shots when required but once again he
should not move the bowls until the players agree. If an Umpire
is available then he may be called upon for a decision. |

Who are smarter -
men or women?
 |
Three women and three men are travelling to
Wellington by train to
see a rugby
match. At the station, the three women each buy a ticket and
watch as the three men buy just one ticket. 'How are the three
of you going to travel on only one ticket?' asks Margaret.
'Watch and learn,' answers Bill.
They all board the train. The three women take their
respective seats but all three men cram into a toilet together
and close the door. Shortly after the train has departed, the
conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the
toilet door and says, 'Ticket, please. The door opens just a
crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The
conductor takes it and moves on.
The women see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea
so, after the game, they decide to do the same thing on the
return trip and save some money. When they get to the station
they buy a single ticket for the return trip but see, to their
astonishment, that the three men don't buy any ticket at all!!
'How are you going to travel without a ticket?' says Margaret.
'Watch and learn,' answers Bill.
When they board the train, the three women cram themselves
into a toilet, and the three men cram into another toilet just
down the way. Shortly after the train is on its way, Bill
leaves the toilet and walks over to the toilet in which the
women are hiding. He knocks on their door and says, 'Ticket,
please.'
I'm still trying to figure out why women ever think they are
smarter than men. |
