Calling all sane Bowlers,

Played in National top team Wednesday evening & played a 'lively' visiting team!!

3 of the traveling spectators had vuvuzelas! Thats the awful type horns that make the current football unwatchable!
Our lovely green is in a quiet residential area, you can imagine the reaction we are going to get with our understanding neighbors. We just manage to live with one another over parking etc but this dam noise is a different manner.
The visitors thought it was amusing for the majority, even some of the visitors felt that the noise is NOT bowls.
Looking through the rules can't see any reference to this type of distraction, will have to wait until we get a noise abatement order served on us!!

Down with the vuvuzelas!:(:(

No No No thats all we want, would drive 1 or 2 of my team around the bend, you only have to twitch when they bowl and it's like the world has come to an end.
One of those horns blowing would finish them off!!

Expect a lot of clubs would ban them from their surrounds, I hope!!

Hi All,

Can't imagine they would ever catch on in bowls, hopefully they would be banned along with rattles etc, cheering is about the limit, then I'm an old fudy dudy!!!!
What an awful noise

Never have anything to worry about on that score Wrong Bias I would forgive you anything, well almost
I must admit I turned the television off when the football was on it sounded like a sort of loud whine did get on my nerves the noise that is not the Football,

I expect all the England Football supporters wont speak to me now:(:roll:

For someone who can't stand football, loved the 'Hitler' clip!!!!!

Think they are all overpaid premedonas, and the pundits are unbelievably boring.

Give me bowling any day.:D Trouble is we have a few premedonas creeping into our sport, picking and choicing which games to play in, they keep getting selected, then the bowlers on the fringe refuse to step in, bad signs for the future of our sport!!

Also enjoyed the Link think it is very good, couldn't believe it last night I was coming home from watching out Mens A team play and walking past a house and horrors of horrors heard some youngsters blowing these dam horn things,
Sounds travel quite a bit where I live lord help me if when I am sitting trying to read my book will I have to listen to this racked all Summer,

Will have to wait and see If I COMPLAIN they will think its great fun and do it more. :confused:

Hi All Bowlers,

Playing a friendly tomorrow so will miss the football!! sad, never thought I would say but hope the Germans win so those Horns can be thrown away and we get back to normal, the drunks that is!!

Unfortunately they have been common place and can easily see how trouble can be started as not everyone appreciate the lovely noise..
