Vale - Ron Guy 28 July
It is with deep regret and a sad heart that I report the passing of Ronald James Guy at approx 6pm on Saturday 28th July 2007 at age 64 years. His dinner in the microwave he slipped quietly into the night while watching his TV alone. He is being moved from the hospital to the temple 'Dap Pai' today and I will advise of funeral arrangements when known. He will be missed by all.

Wednesday 25 July
Once again we had 22 bowlers which meant 4 teams of 4, and 2 teams of 3, same as the week before.
Yung, J.J. and Ted blasted out of the blocks with all of them playing well above their handicaps. They proved to hard to catch and ended up winning with a team average score of 217. Followed not to far behind by Malcolm, Dow and Surachot on 206. Maybe the triples teams do have an advantage ?
Ted took out the highest score award with 270 in the first game.
Was good to have Craig back again from Taipai. Pim was missing, gone to visit with Phil and Emily in Wales. Next week we hope to have Bacca and ‘H’ back with us again. But Ted and Ram have headed off to Canada for a month.
See you next week.

Wednesday 18 July
This week we had 4 teams of 4, and 2 teams of 3 (21 players). The only new-comer was Scott who made a return to bowling after a break only to find that his handicap was far short of his actual performance. Better luck next time Scott. Jo and Rex returned from Hong Kong in much need of the money after finding Honkers a little expensive for retirees like themselves, if you can believe that ....
Average team individual scores were 190, 191, 198, 200, 205 and winners 207. So the handicaps make things pretty right and results are close no matter what team you are in.
Winners were Dan, Nongruk, Oi and J.J. (Dan plays well with the girls)
Best score was Erik’s 247 but close behind him was Nongruk with 245.
See you by 3.30pm next Wednesday - get with the strength and play with big balls instead of those puny little white golf balls.

Wednesday 11 July
Numbers are down with quite a few people away on short and long trips but 17 turned up and that made four groups of four with Garry sitting this one out and just having a practice bowl on his own while running the show with Les away.
The winning team was Ram, Som See, Dow & Colin (2469) and runners up were Ted, Erik, Nongruk & Gerry (2417). High Scorer was Gary Lyon (261) who bowled extremely well with three games over 200 (723) and not far behind was Nongruk (250) also with three games over 200 (673). Gary reckons its all down to the lousy pair of shoes he bought off Phil since he hired a pair today and is back to his old form. Also worth a mention was Colin who has just returned from Oz and also bowled three games over 200 (670). Well done everyone. Jimmy not to be outdone took Colin on at 10 baht a strike and came away with a smile on his face and an extra 10 baht in his pocket. Good on ya Jimmy.
Same time, same place next week but with a lot returning from small trips it is expected to be a big turnout ...... see ya there.

Wednesday 4th July
A FEW MORE BOWLERS OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEK. REX & JO OFF TO HONG KONG FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS,. PIM & WAW IN PHUKET AGAIN AND CRAIG IN TAPAI.
WELCOME BACK TO AMP & NICK AFTER A FEW WEEKS OFF.
BUT, WE STILL MANAGED 5 TEAMS OF 4, WHICH WAS A GOOD NUMBER.
LOOKED ALL OVER AFTER THE 1ST GAME WHEN DA, DAN, ERIK & SURACHOT LED THE FIELD BY 71 PINS. HOWEVER IN THE 2ND GAME NICK BOWLED 7 STRIKES WITH HIS LAST 7 BOWLS TO GET THE TOP NET SCORE OF 258. THIS EFFORT BROUGHT HIS TEAM WITH TED, LES & JIM TO WITHIN 11 PINS OF THE LEADERS. (Nick also got a strike with his 1st bowl of the 3rd game to make it 8 strikes in a row) NICK AND HIS TEAM CONTINUED TO PLAY WELL AND FINISHED THE DAY 80 PINS AHEAD.
IT WAS CERTAINLY NICK’S DAY AND HE ENDED UP WITH 19 STRIKES OVER THE 30 FRAMES. THE GOOD NEWS FOR THE REST OF US IS THAT HIS HANDICAP HAS NOW BEEN REDUCED TO 13.
