Exact opposite for me, best year ever on the green and have decided to represent the club in the SBA pairs next year, rather than the triples.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Presently, the main hall in the Northern is going through further refurbishments. New seating has already been installed and a brand new dance floor is virtually laid now, so it should be looking absolutely top notch for next year.
I believe the green edges are being lifted as they were beginning to drop, so by the time next season comes around, everything should be looking good.
Bring on the for another thrashing.

Bearing in mind its the same portable rink used for most of the big tournaments shown on the Beeb therefore they all know how it plays. They are most definately using their own bowls in any tournament you watch on TV.

Bit help needed guys, looking to get a new set of bowls for next season. I want the blue yellow speckled bowls here http://www.drakespride.co.uk/Pages/lawn/coloured.htm# however I can't find them on any online store. Does anywhere know where I can get them or will I have to settle for orange taylors.
On another note the do green yellow speckled ones(taylor) however i can only find them in oz they look well nice.

Stu,
Should it not be more about how they play rather than how they look?..
however I do think the grey Granite effect ones look cool!
I have 2 sets, both Henselites (Classics and my newer Classic 2's)...both boring (and cheaper!) black..
Everyone tells me that the Classic 2's are "much" straighter than my old yins, but I personally don't see much difference (and I have been known to practice with both sets at once -saves a lazy B like me some walking!).
On a rink that hasn't been played already that day and you can still see the track marks the bowls leave the difference between the lines each bowl takes is minute if anything at all!
I think you need to try bowls before you buy them.

I reverted to my size 2's from my time as junior a couple of years ago whilst still a good bowl i've ****ed them up driving, chips, scratched and a nice white line in one when i pinged a rink marker, they were second hand anyway and weren't in the greatest nick..
looking at vectors or a similiar straightish bowl as I have generally played lead(and hopefully will continue to do so). Just fancy a change of colour(from my previous black and brown ones) and the Blue yellow ones look very nice. I can get the white ones or white with red speckled but have to wait til april and I need to pre-order them.
Just showing my immaturity I think i wanting something a bit different as I was going to get the pink ones but the missus has quickly and easily talked me out of that. Don't want the normal blue/red or geen either, want something that i haven't seen before.

Up to you Stu mate but I think having coloured bowls would put me off (I get very religious/ superstitious in the bowls I play with). I play with bog standard henselites which are perfect. Always played with the same kind albeit my other set are a size smaller (4's).
Certainly plenty of choice these days both colour and bias. If you predominately play at the front end then straighter bowls may be an idea but at the end of the day it's how you play with them.
Make sure if you get coloured bowls that you play well. Because if not everyone is going to quickly realise which bowls looked like they have been dropped by parachute

Must admit he played well against us in the first game of last season. Didn't personally play against Neil but he always looked in the area (although that might just have been the eye catching factor of those b100dy big melons )

Must be serious indeed.
Is it the Jewel you are a member of again?

I was along the club on Sunday & spoke to a former commitee member & he says there is still a strong possibility of the Esk league team playing all their home games away from the Jewel ...if that is the case then i wont be playing ...

The big problem for almost every club is getting people interested in playing the game, it has been slowly dying a death for around 10 years now.
I think what we need is somebody to invent the game on to a Wii or whatever, and get folk playing it there first, then hopefully get them interested in the real thing
Good luck for the coming season, I think we will ALL need it.

I'm sure there will be enough talent on show, for Hibs.net to exact revenge this year!
