Wednesday 24th June

Thirty-one people this week making up 7 teams of 4 and one team of 3 . The bowling club has made a deal with the new owners in which, you will pay 100bht for 4 games and if you need shoes it will cost 30 bht more. The same as before . They do have a new promotion price of 5 games for 130bht including shoes but most of the regular members have their own shoes,so I think that this is better for the club. The other thing is we don't know when they will end the promotion.

What a battle in the last game between Jo's team and Rex's team . After the second game, Rex's team were leading by 33pins and it looked like they would be the winners. However Jo's team started to make a comeback in the last game with Jo leading the charge with 4 strikes in a row giving her team a chance to win. It seems that every time one team gets a good score the other team responded with a better score. Rex's team finished with 854 pins. Since they finished first Jo need to bowl a strike or spare in the last frame to take the 1st place prize. Jo's team finished with 876 pin, falling short by 11 pins. It was very exciting to watch,but in the end Rex,Sherman,Pung and Phyllis were the winners with a total team score of 2518 pins.

2nd place went to Surachot,H,Dennis H,and Jo with a total team score of 2507pins. Jo had the high score with 273pins.

Congratulations to Corky for bowling over 200 for the first time!!! with handicap he had a score of 260pins. He would have been the high score winner if there was a prize this week. Well Done!!!

The other two teams bowled poorly in the final game not even winning the 2nd place prize.

2nd place went to Corky,Ken,Stewart and Yung with a total score of 2471 pins.They made a remarkable comeback by bowling over 900 in the final game and put a little more pressure on the eventual winners in the last frame. Garry's team met the challenge and Corky's team took second.
