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.

Played before when the branches used to have a day out at the RINK that used to be behind ER

There was a green behind ER (St Andrews Steelworks - and a nice green it was too) this will have consisted of as many as seven (or even eight -but fairly narrow) rinks, however the standard for most greens is just six. There are some greens in the town that are not big enough for six rinks and these are ineligible to host certain competitions. Dependant on what competition is being played, the rinks can be between 15 - 18 feet wide (can be narrower for non-competition play).

These will have been played on by bowlers in the following possible combinations ....

Singles = 1 a side
Pairs = 2 a side
Triples = 3 a side
or... Rinks (very occasionally referred to as fours) = 4 a side (the maximum number in a game at a time I.E. a full rink as referred to earlier in this thread).

Just had confirmation from the missus that she has managed to get a day off from work on the 28th June so I'm a definite now.

Mike - Please don't change the date

Had my first practice at Whitehouse tonight and not running to bad. Not long to the league games start.

**MB62** · 29-04-2008 08:14 AM

Booked Three rinks last night at our committee meeting lads, so we are defo up and running for June 28th.
I will wait and see what the numbers are before deciding whether I play for Hibs.net or the Northern.

I will now need to start inviting fellow Northern Hibbies to take part

BTW just in case anybody is not sure where the Northern is, I have just recently added a map to our website you can find us there.

http//:www.northernbowlingclub.co.uk

The link sometimes doesn't show exactly where we are when you click on it but scroll out to a slightly wider view and you will see us.

**~~MSK~~** · 29-04-2008 08:28 AM

Good stuff Mike ...i know the club well, used to deliver yer beer ...

Ps: What sort of time are we talking....12.00/12.30...1.00...?

Well done Kenny, maybe this time you can even drink the stuff you used to deliver

.

I have booked the three rinks from 2.00pm.

I think I will leave team selection to yourself and Andrew, (Tanfield) and I will select the Northern team, if that's who I play for

Is that the one on the street going towards warriston playing fields?

And for the selectors lead or third please, i'm a useless second and a hotheaded skip(in otherwords if i'm getting beat I keep driving out of anger and i'm useless at driving

).

Nae probs Stu, I think that happens to us all does it not??

Kenny (HNA6). Seeing as Mike has kindly delegated the selection to us it might be an idea for everyone to state honestly where they would prefer to play and take it from there.

Ok so far:

Fat Stu - Lead/Third
HNA6 - Second
Tanfield - I'm happy to skip (play anywhere mind)

What about the others??

I'd rather play second or third, especially if I can repeat my form from the Hats last night

. 21 -4 after 13 ends and we still never won the money!
First league game on Friday and cannae wait.

Aye, but I can really be a bad tempered git at bowls. I've saw myself giving ties half way through cos I was in the huff at getting beat.

It surely is Stu.

BTW, this is great, I'm getting an insight into your team and I will pick my team accordingly, although I don't suppose we will have much trouble winning this game

I can admit to a few huffy moments particularly in my early days. After a devastating defeat

in the semi final of the championship I volleyed one of my bowls into the locker room (hurt like hell!) and stormed out. Can smile about if now though.

What a shocking attitude to have

Nah im my opinion you have to be upset when defeated.

"Show me a good loser and ill show you a loser" i think the saying goes.
