    probably my best social year, but as an individual won nothing. Oh but we did get promoted to division 3, not bad for our first year in the league.

    Our bowling club is having an open day for the kids on Sunday, but I'll be at the Hibs game so can't take my boys.

    Going to try and get them (and me) into this for there will come a time (soon) when the football career will end.............

    We (Jewel) finished 4th in the second div ..that was good because we came all the way down from the 5th in consecutive seasons ...Me & my partner were beaten in the final of the pairs ..at least another trophy for the wife tae polish ..

    Worst season i've had yet, but i changed bowls half way through season once i was out of everything, bring on next season.

    PS anyone wish to buy a set of size 4 taylors, very good condition, but do tend to fall a yard short of the jack

    Thats the big diff though ..i gave up indoor because i couldnt catch the weight adjustment out doors and that was playing on a very fast green ...still laid up short far too often...

    Dinnae like tight liners ..prefer bowls wi a hook finish, handy if yer playing second like i do in the league ...need a bowl tae get roond the blockers , i use Taylors Henselite Deluxe , decent draw but could do wi a bit more...

    Just started again this season after playing crown green in England from when I was 13 until 25. Loving being back into the bowls even if playing flat green was a bit strange at first. Roll on next season.

    Yeah I'm sure you would enjoy it, a lot less tactical as ninety nine per cent of the games you play are singles so only four bowls around the jack.
    When you're holdin the shot you know there's not another half a dozen or so more bowls to come and spoil it.
