Our Own Slave Tirade

Whilst most Club Members are dreaming of next season, our very own green volunteers have been sweating it out on the green. They were not playing bowls but were moving the sacks of top dressing around the edge of the green. Now it’s all there, it’s just waiting for Bobby, our visiting professional greenkeeper. Thanks from all the Members to Ian W & David L, Tommy, John B, Shan, Eddie & Mogsy, for their hard work yesterday and today. Jenny made a cameo appearance. Although everyone was off home when the camera arrived, proof of the hard work can be seen on David L’s hands, knees and toes:

Seeing Double

Chris is in the process of experimentation with his bowling delivery. In the following experiment, he sends both his bowls at the same time so that he only needs to crouch down once during each end rather than twice. In his next experiment, he will send one bowl immediately after the other, with the aim of achieving the same outcome of a single crouch.
