Carol B heads over to John B to confiscate the list that he’s been compiling of the football matches he hopes to watch in September. He hoped she wouldn’t notice and would just assume that he was scoring a card for one of the bowls matches on the green.
The day everyone has been waiting for. Today is “National Just Because Day”. This is the day to do something out of character or something you have wanted to do for ages but not yet got round to it. Yes, www.NationalToday.com (link opens in a new tab) gathers together many international days of celebration, and today is a real winner.
Stuck for ideas? Why not try one of the online websites where you can try out different hairstyles on a photo of yourself – just because.
A little light entertainment. In the midst of a game of bowls, a spontaneous game of charades breaks out on the green. It’s one word, and a film, and a book and sounds like ……
Our Chairman, David RJ, sets himself to perform cartwheels right across the green at Rhos Park, as the opening entertainment for last week’s Cup Final between our Wednesday ‘B’ Team and Min y Don. Sadly, no photos of his performance, just this one:
What do you think should be written on the poster fixed to the fence to reflect the scene, or the possible conversation, at the front of the photo? How about this …….
Gwyn to Bill and Tommy, “Why is an elephant like a wheelbarrow?”
Bill and Tommy in unison, “We don’t know. Why is it Gwyn?”.
Gwyn, “Because an elephant can’t climb a tree”.

In response to a couple of questions earlier this week, please note the added bold type in the two laws shown below from the BCGBA Laws of the Game 2022.
5.7 A player may retain possession of the footer until that player’s bowl has ceased running. If a player has taken up the footer after playing a bowl, which for any reason has to be replayed, or if the footer is accidentally displaced during an end, it shall be replaced as nearly as possible in its former position.
6.4 A player must not attempt to affect the running of any bowl, nor follow it up in such a manner as to obstruct the view of the opponent. For a first offence, involving the player’s own bowl, that bowl shall be forfeited. In the case of a further offence, the game shall be awarded to the opponent(s). The offender(s) to receive no further score and the opponent(s) to receive the maximum score.
