Bowling 28th July

A rainy day and 24 players, indoor sport is the way to go.John B had surgery on his bowling hand but that didnt stop him coming back as a new player "lefty".He had a generous 80 pin handicap but as it turned out he needed 100 hit par. Lane 11 Michael, Kevin, Jo and the lucky charm Poung were todays winners (2476). RJ, Rex, Somsee and new player Aree came 2nd (2398) . Jacob high-scored with 247 in game 1.

Thank you all, see you next week.

Bowling July 21st

This week gave us 5 teams of 4 bowlers, a nice easy pace.The winners came from lane 9.
Ben, Jacob, John Q and Jamie,2503 pins secured the cash.

Lane 12 with John V, Gary L, Sherman and Stewart picked up the scraps.
Jamie bowled 98 above his average, his handicap has now plummeted from 91 to 80.

John Q, Rene and Kevin all bettered their average by about 50 pins, well done!

Have a good weekend, see you Wednesday.

Bowling 14th July

Seven teams of three this week, there was no time to relax.
Lane 12 won the day, Tim, Jo and Stewart bowled a combined 55 over average.
In a second was lane 10.Walter, Poung and Gary L, 8 pins behind.

Arde has dropped her handicap under the 100 mark in her third week.
Today was memorable for the loud bang coming from lane 8,for some unexplainable reason Shermans ball hit the gate...flew up and broke the flouro light above it took a while for the glass and powder to be removed. That gave us a moment to have a sip of beer.

Hoping for teams of 4 next week so we can all relax a bit between frames.

See you there.
