Wow – biggest turn out ever. 40 players on Boxing Day. Welcome to newcomers(American) Paul and his lady Sue, Dan Evans brought Mol along and Wayne is back in town from Australia for holiday after 12 months. We will lose a few next week when probably about 7 visitors leave us and H will be back at work in Africa.

If you intend to have a practice game before the main event, could you please come a little early and finish practice by 3.45pm so we can get the teams up on the screens by 4.00pm. Thanks.
Farewell to the visitors leaving us, hope you enjoyed it as we enjoyed your company. See everybody else next week - Les

Bowling Wed 19 Dec
Once again a very big turn out of 37 players today. We played 8 teams of 4 and a fiveball.
Three newcomers, Dan (an Aussie) well known to the golfers and Dennis from Kansas City, Missouri. (and I thought it was in Kansas). Noel brought Yai along for her first time as well. Hope you all enjoyed it and that we will see you back.
Well this week Waw got her team of Rachel, Scott and Jimmy off to a good start in her first game with gross 202 (net 262) to win highest game score despite Yung’s best effort of gross 200 (net 257).
Waw and the team were never headed on the day and went on to win with a team average of 212.
Second place was a close affair and we had to wait for a late finish from the team of 5 boys, Surachot, Len, Ted, Dennis and Ian Mac to see them run 2nd with 207 from three other teams with 200, 203 & 205.
Best bowler was again Surachot with gross 525 pins over three games.
Sorry no photo’s I’m computer illiterate and don’t know how to get them on file. Pim took some photo’s, maybe she could do it.
Was our annual Xmas Dinner today after bowling. Held this year at ‘The Old Bell’. Good food and good time. Thanks go to Jo for organization.

Bowling Wed 12 Dec
A big turn out of 33 this week, including 4 relatives visiting Rex & Jo. A big welcome to Chiang Mai to Rachel, Anna, Julie and Stephen. Dan's daughter-in-law Yafong is also visiting and joined in the events of the day. Welcome back to Brock who has just returned from Canada and whom we haven't seen since last March.
No real outstanding performances from the locals, but visiting Stephen knocked over 495 pins to halve his handicap from 70 to 35 for next week.
This weeks winners were Ram, Jo, Stephen and Dan with a team average of 204 to beat the team of five, Gary L, John, Dow David and Len by just a single pin.
Highest score went to Len with 255.
Looking forward to Xmas Dinner at the Old Bell next week - Les

Bowling Wed 5 Dec
7 teams of 4 again this week.
Welcome back to 'H' from his 3 month African Safari and as it was the Kings Bithday and no school, Koy was with him as well. Gary L also has his Son & Daughter-in-law, David and Jen visiting him, welcome and hope you both enjoyed the day. Erik also has his sister visiting and brought Brother-in-law, Chris along for a game.
After Round 1, there were 3 teams locked in battle with Erik, Scott, Oi and Ram in front on 847 and 2 other teams close behind on 843 & 830. But Erik and Co. were in fine form and posted scores in next two games of 869 & 875 to win the day by 21 pins from Rex, 'H', Gary L and Ken who had 3 excellent rounds of 796, 875 & 898.
Scott (???) won the highest net game score with a 261 in the 2nd, to help his team to overall victory.
Best gross bowlers bowlers this week were John 509 and Gary L 489 who have shaved 8 and 12 off their handicaps respectively.
Seems all is in place for our Xmas Dinner on 19th to be held at The Old Bell (25/1 Loi Kroh Rd). Cost is an extra 45 baht per head, so please settle this with Jo.
Bowling Alley has a new restaurant come kareoke on the third floor and quite a few of us went up to eat there after the game. Being their first night I guess they were a little unprepared for so many people and service was extremely slow. But the food was very good and well priced and Ted & JJ did their best to serenade (!?!) us all while we waited. Several toasts were made to welcome our visitors and returning bowlers and also to congratulate Colin & Da on getting back together.
See you next week - Les
