Tom who, Gerald?

Tom Foley training for

the big one!

He’s not Tom Cruise, Hilda!

How Shall We Survive Without Tony?

Our Secretary, Tony Fulton, is scheduled for some

medical procedure which will keep him out of action for

awhile. Fear not people! A number of applicants have

rolled in to take over during Tony’s absence. We have some

photos of those who have applied.... Take your pick!

The Ladies

Secretary, Pam Cooper, was prominent in the photos taken at

the Official Opening Day of CBC. She obviously enjoys her

bowls. Pam keeps ‘Drawshot’ updated with news from the

ladies and even when there’s no news she still sends an

email. (Keep ‘em coming, Pam)

What’s Happening at Other Bowls Clubs

Buckingham is going backwards according to the Mercury. Well not

really as they are celebrating 100 years since ladies joined the Club.

(Below) are Maureen Foley, of West Moonah, and Trisha Quick, of

Otago, dress up for the occasion at Buckingham Bowls Club, New

Town. Picture: Richard Jupe Source: Mercury

Out Bowling!

I love bowlers

Old fashion but Dependable!

He’s out bowling!

The wives and partners of our

male bowlers have objected to

all the applicants in the left

hand column and recommend

one of these most suitable

temps.

I’ll give ‘em bowlin’, if they tries anything!

Oldest Streaker:

It was reported that at an unnamed Bowls Club in South Wales a

streaker invaded the green. It was during a Sunday social game being

enjoyed by male and female bowlers. The streaker was named as

Cranbourne Happyfoot, aged 92, who came from the nearby retire-

ment home. Apparently Cranbourne had just finished his shower and

got confused and lost his way ending up on the green.

MIDWEEK 2013-2014 We barely have enough to be able to field 1 1/2

sides each week. If one or two are unavailable

we will be in trouble. So here is an idea of how

to solve that problem.

We want names to go onto an emergency list of

Males who may not want to play Midweek

every week but only when we are really short and ladies

in Division 3 who would be able to fill in if required.

That list will be on the board from Monday 30/9/13. Please

help if you can.
