Roving Around

A group of 4 couples roved on down to Aireys Inlet for a weekend getaway. It was a tremendously enjoyable fellowship and banter couple of days, with the statement of the weekend going to snowflakes Jones, “You should hang your sheets perfectly in the centre on the line so as you'll have a straight crease line up the centre on your bed”. Really??? A lot of fun was had, so much so, we will be doing the same next year during Vic Open weekend if anyone wishes to join us.

Back to Bowls....On Monday after bowls I came across the Bold and Beautiful playing their mixed pairs play off. Reg and Emily Whitford taking on Miriam Falzon and Terry Driscoll. It was a tight affair early on with Miriam hugging the kitty many times until she took some time out to interreact with some of her fans until Terry gave her a roar up so they quickly became the Beauty and the Beast again. Reg and Emily fought very hard, but the Beauty and the Beast came out comfortable winners.

Then on Tuesday morning I came across the best game of draw bowling I've seen for ages between two bean poles (jealous) Stuart Erry and Mike Currie. If you don't believe me, ask marker crusty Ken M. It took them 31 ends to sort things out with the score @ 22-23 on the 30th with Stuart getting a 3 on measure to end the battle. I would not be able to produce the result any time between these very consistent draw bowlers, well done both Stuart and Mike.

Yes, while above was going on Anne Cotterill and Jill Bell were in battle, very crafty ladies using very different strategies. Mat up short ends the other mat back long ends be wary of the little lady Jill battle well but Anne was able to hold on and win.

Their are a lot of club games being played at the moment so if you have some time on your hands have a peak.
