Bowls - Hibs.Net v Northern?

[MB62]

Ok lads (and Lassies). Having spoken to the committee, there appears to be no problems with organising a wee game of bowls between .netters and the Northern Hibbies, there's plenty of us down there.

Could you give me an idea of who would want to play and what DAY suits everyone best i.e. Saturday or Sunday.

Due to the many friendlies etc that are played, dates available are limited but if I know most prefer one to the other, it will make it easier to organise.
Also if can let me know when you are unavailable, that would help.

Maybe just add your name below and we can see where it goes from there.

M.B.

Is this a bowls match against the Northern bowling Club in Wariston?

It certainly is Davy, depending on how many show an interest.
My first thought is to keep it to Northern Hibbies (although I don't know if I would get away with that) but if you fancy it, get your name down.

[MB62]

My suggested date would be

Saturday 28th June with a 2.30pm kick off.

This though might end up clashing with a Hibs game, but we can make that provisional and see who is interested.

All depending on interest. I would hope to maybe have a couple of rinks at least but I don't know how many bowlers there are on Hibs.net and who would actually be interested.
We have a bit of time, we could always have a singles game

[MB62]

Yahoo, we have a Triple. Just had a P.M. from FatStu and he is up for it too.

One more and we have a rink, then who knows, maybe snowball to TWO TRIPLES.

C'Mon bowlers, don't be so 'tight' and get your names up for the challange.

Impossible in this job! unbelievably mind-nummingly boring at the moment.

We could do with a couple more people coming out the woodwork on this thread to get us up to 2 full rinks!

[Craig_in_Prague]

och,
would have loved to be able to play

[MSK]

Still looking for more names if any bowlers are interested ...

Less of the oldies!!! and dinnae show yer ignorance!

Ice rinks were first artificially produced in the late 19th century (prior to that if people wanted to use an ice surface for skating/curling they had to wait for a body of water to freeze naturally. (not that I was around to attest to this personally)

Bowling existed long before this time, so the use of the word "rink" in this case is entirely correct.

8 definites so far Kenny so just need one more for 3 triples. Waiting for a response from a couple but enough so far to field a team.

Interesting to see what kind of team Mike manages to pull together. Hopefully they will be able to put up some kind of game against us

Still got to decide on dress code. Standard greys and whites to you think? Would look good with team polo shirts with our user names on the back

Good stuff mate ......think we should play Northern wi our opposite bowling hands just tae gie them a chance ...

As for dress code i think our own individual club colours would look smart..tie..polo shirt or jersey ...i will prob wear my black trousers wi dark blue Jewel Club jersey ..

[MB62]

Having one or two problems getting my lads together for the big day, a couple of late ? withdrawals for various reasons. However, there are enough Hibbies at the Northern that I should get my three triples together ok.

[sg7nil]

Is that a sound of breaking glass I can hear....

Bottles crashing??

[tanfield]

Aye, their bravado could only last so long until reality set in

Triples will be fine Mike. We have 9 as well so 3 rinks of triples it is.

Now that Andy has revealed his team, i'm quite confident my 2nd 9 will be good enough.
