:confused:We are playing the Divisional Knock Out Next week and after looking at the teams selected something stinks
Our Club Captain is a brilliant bowler who this year got to the County finals but has been completely ignored and someone from our club who only
joined last year and I hate to say this is a dreadful bowler if the green is wet or heavy cant get up the green,
This bowler is no spring chicken and plays for the c team its beyond my understanding.
How can selectors make decisions like this and she is in my team I am going to be struggling with short bowls all day.

What goes on in selection meetings is a mystery to most sane people.
It doesn't matter whether its ladies or gents, seniors or juniors - they always seem to be able to surprise people with their selections!:rolleyes:

At my Club, get on the selection Board and get selected, rife in the Ladies, no wonder they never get any where the younger better bowlers leave for progressive Clubs:(

I spied on the ladies selection meeting once and it involved a blind fold and a dart broad. Lol

Can well believe it Wooden Wheels and I know you are only joking but when you have to go out and play with bowlers who are rubbish and are only on the team because of who their friends are I feel like pulling out my hair,
I think you need to be at least seventy with a few bandages and be prepared to sit on committees and grovel a lot.
Never going to do that so I made my mind up Sod it.

Angel I do believe I can see a bit of temper coming out but after watching a ladies competition yesterday I can understand why our girls lost by 42 shots overall,
They came back to the Club defeated and in foul tempers and I know when its time to make a quick retreat the tea ladies took a verbal battering because they hadn't made enough sandwiches and were using ham for their personal salads
Women Bowling and Kitchens are BEST AVOIDED WHEN THE LADIES LOSE A GAME

I keep well away from things but i played in a Presidents game today and our rink lost 31- 9 and some clever dick took the score board and placed it in the middle of the rink,
If i ever find out who was responsible what i shall do is unprintable.

Was your dart 'broad' instead of dartboard, deliberate or a Freudian slip?.:wink:

My mother always insisted that if women ruled the world there would be no more wars. I should perhaps point out that she never played, or was involved with, women's bowls.

It must be an age thing I missed the broad in this post did make a remark recently about the size and width of some of our L Bowlers and am still keeping a low profile its going to be a long time before they forget if ever.

Looks like your in the dog house Surfer what a thing to say when you know us girls are very very sensitive about looks and weight,
Most of the girls at my Club are either on a diet or going to go on one,
WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IS GET ALL YOUR KIT OFF AND GO AND HAVE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR :D:D:p
Can remember you telling us that you were struggling to get into this years bowling trousers:rolleyes:

Now Angel that wasn't very nice, I would say most of us don't look very good nude in front of a mirror these days, myself included.
There's a Nudist beach near my old golf course, so for the occasional glance off the 14th tee would have to agree with you!!

Understandable given the fact that pasties in your neck of the woods are extremely delicious.:D

Going to agree with you there Edinburghump cant beat a Cornish Pastie I would rather see someone enjoying their food than looking like a stick insect.
Need a bit of stamina if you play two or three games a day.
