BORDER LEAGUE
The Border League for men and ladies starts on 26 January and this is the first year the ladies are playing in a league format. As you will understand, it is not an easy task for the selectors to get the teams selected to everyone’s satisfaction, but they do their best for the good of the club. Trusting you will support them in their endeavours. To this end I have included the “Selector’s Prayer” as food for thought...
(Taken from the Border Bowls Newsletter)
Blessed are they who can play sport
Blessed are they who can still be taught
Blessed are they who accept with grace
To play in any selected place.
BEREAVEMENT
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Joy Openshaw earlier this month, who was a founder member of our bowling club. Our ladies provided the funeral tea – thank you ladies.
THEME SUNDAY
Our next Theme Sunday will take place on
20 January 2013 with the theme being
“Nautical...everybody loves a sailor!”
For those who have been away from bowls for a while, this is a good time to come back to bowls, dress up and enjoy!

Bowling Balls
A little old man boards a bus with a bowling wood in each of his front pockets. He sits down next to a beautiful young lady, and she can’t help but glance quizzically at the man and his bulging pockets. It’s an uneasy few minutes before, finally, the little old man can take no more. “Bowling balls,” he nods reassuringly. The lady seems a little shocked, and stares on. Moments later, she says: “Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?”
Please contact the committee if you have any comments or suggestions – David, James, Marie, Jayne M, Viv, Glen P, Rose, Jenny, Pat, Des G.
See you on the bowling green!
