bbc coverage is a nightmare, always ends during tiebreak of a game

Ye never missed much mate, Foster had a couple o chances to draw for the game but his final bowl fell short, tbh i was a bit disappointed in Foster, ive seen him play much better ...

i guess i'm the only one that finds bowls insanely boring to watch! also hate this sets format that indoor uses, just play a race to 21 ffs.

You're not the only one Stu, I'm not the best spectator when it comes to bowls. Perfect remedy for insomniacs mind.

Roll on the outdoor!!!

me and mates were discussing at indoor do you think they have to use a certain bowl to suit the sponsors and has to be colour for tv. foster always seem to have a big drawing bowl, the ones used for indoor might not suit him

That is bad news, another bowling club going out the game?
Why no Esk League, what happened there? or do you mean you will not be playing in the Esk League because the Jewel has packed in?

There's always the Northern if you want to play top class bowls

I think there has been a lot of infighting between bowling members & the main Jewel commitee...

Due to lack of co-operation from the main commitee means no-one is prepared to set up a new bowling commitee..no new bowling commitee no bowls...(competitions etc)

A few of the guys who played in the Esk have ( im led to believe) left the Jewel & some even say that they will retain the name but use Niddrie bc as "home"...as a counter blow ..the Jewel have mooted that idea & have said they will put out a team in the Esk ...my opinion is they will have absolutley no chance & if they even attempt to play in the 2nd div they will get blown away !!!

Im wi the guys who have gone to Niddrie but no way will i play for the Jewel up there !!

Bloody shambles mate ...

Always wondered what the case was wi the bowls mate, some players use custom made bowls so i would assume they have to use a bowl thats as near as possible to the one they normally use ...

Hopefully we can get the flooding in Leith Links fixed before the start of next season!

At least they now think they know what's caused it...

Nae mention of Seafield BC in the article, just the Cricket pitches and the Allotments (next door).... our green was mair like a swimming pool since August because of this.. I reckon we could have a major moss situation this year!

I still can't believe that they were not able to get a single green from the ones at the Meadows from the council and continue to operate..

The club is/was an institutuion and more effort should have been made to save it (IMHO).

Was all looked into and we were unsuccessful, in hind sight we could of bought one of the greens at the back of us which is now a play park. Added to things like our well publicised lack of cash and the fact that any club we went to would have to bear our name(that can be really off putting). Also these public places have no bar facilities.

Do any people under 60 play bowels or is there a legal minimum age requirement?

Yep, i think youre right. Under 65s play marbles, over 65s move onto to bowls. I prefer the bingo myself.
