Six teams of four again this week.
Waw, Sue, Keith and Garry W, were looking the goods after the first round with a lead of 31 pins. But in the 2nd game Dan, Noel, Les and Ted came up with a great score of 907 to lead Waw and Company by 54 pins and were counting the money. Then once again in the last game the Tigers kicked in and Waw and Company kicked on with a last game score of 874 to win the day by just 14 pins.
Once again Surachot had the best gross game score on the day with 204 pins and he also broke 500 with 504 pins total for the day. He’s the man !!
Noel won highest net game score with 255 followed by Ted 247 and Michael and Sue 240.
There was 340 baht donated during the day towards taking a couple of the staff to our Xmas Dinner. Thanks a lot. We will have to do this again over the next couple of weeks until we come up with 700 baht. Looks like we are going to have to find another venue as the Laughing Leprechan has been sold. Jo is investigating for us.
The bowling gets a mention in the Chiang Mai Mail this week, so maybe we might get some new players.
See you next week - Les

Bowling Wed 21 Nov
We had a few regulars missing this week but still came up with 6 teams of 4.
For something different this week we drew 2 teams of 4 girls, 3 teams of 4 boys and one team 2 girls and 2 boys.
After round 1 the composite team of Jo, Emely, Jim and John had a good lead of 37 pins.
By the end of round 2 their lead had been reduced to 15 pins. Unfortunately they crashed in the last game while the boys team of Surachot, Phil W, Keith and Ted surged ahead to win the day by 31 pins, including a last game high net score by Ted of 255. Phil Williams back from Wales for 2 weeks has managed 2 weekly wins and a high score prize ???
Best total gross scores went to Surachot 520 and Nungruk 507.
Next weeks Chiang Mai Mail newspaper shound include an article on us which Rex was asked to contribute plus a group photo taken last week.
We want to take a couple of bowling alley staff to our Xmas Dinner again this year and a small donation over the next few weeks to Jo would be appreciated to cover this

Wed 14 Nov
With the return of the golfers this week we had the perfect number of 28 players.
Welcome back to Phil & Emely Williams on a quick visit from the UK. They should be with us again next week as well.
After the first game it looked like we were going to have a partners shoot out with Garry W, Som See, Emely and Yung leading J.J., Gary L, Phil W and Jo by just 7 pins.
However Gary L’s team proved to be in great form throughout the day and had a big win in the end by 134 over Erik, Phil H, Keith & Les who pipped Gary W’s team by 1 pin for 2nd place.
Phil Williams won the best net game score with 256 in his last. Best gross over the day was Emely ( who has lost none of her prowess ) with 490. Other good performances were Yung 483 and J.J. 481.
Don’t forget to pay Jo for the Xmas Dinner on 19th Dec as early as you can. Baht 350 per person.
See you next week - Les

Bowling Wednesday 7 Nov
I trust your Golf Fest is going well, here's a few lines (sorry - no pics) on yesterday's games.
" In the midst of a major 3 day golf tournament we were pleasantly surprised to be able to field 4 teams of 4 and one of 3. The nineteen players were made up of 16 regulars and 3 newcomers.
They were David, from Wales, a long time Chiang Mai resident, married with a charming but working Thai wife Fern, together with Michael & Susan, who retired here 4 months ago from Northamptonshire, England. They all enjoyed their Bowling, Nice to meet you all, hope to see you next week.
The pattern of the afternoon's play was set from game one, with Surachot, Erik, Ken and Phil the clear winners, an average score of 205.5.
Their form was repeated in the other 2 games, with their final average increasing to 207.5, the only other team to have scored over the handicap at the end of the match was the trio of Len, Dow and newbie Michael, with 203.33.
High Score credit belongs to John who achieved a fine 245 in his last game of the set.
We shall be missing Surachot and Nongruk for the next 2 weeks as they are off to Bangkok for a while, but look forward to seeing all the golfers back next Wednesday for another afternoon of Fun Bowling."
