Hi World Bowler & All,
Hello everyone although I am new to 'Worldbowler' I am not new to Bowls!!
Have been following this site for months & just returned from a FANTASTIC bowling tour to Cyprus and I thought I would share a few of the Photos with you!!
Have a bit of patience with me as I handle the 'Technology' and should have them posted in the next couple of days!!
Thats providing I don't have a big hangover from the New Year Celebrations!!!
Look out for my Pics (I hope), Happy New Year,
Peter Pan

We could all do with being cheered up, and some bowling snaps of a Bowling Tour to Cyprus would be just the thing, with this cold freezing
weather we are having be nice to remember what its like playing outdoor something

HI All,
At last ready to start putting on a few pictures, special thanks for the private messages on the technical bit and your requests for info on our Bowling Club Tour.
We all had a truly wonderful time not to not, November sun in Cyprus i is
great, the Tour/Holiday lasted for 2 weeks but now we are back it flew by.
The Entertainment and Social side was everything you expect and it kept the Club together, they were organized matches also you could bowl as much as you want.
Below is a few Photos giving a good example of our Bowling days.

Hi Peter Pan Great Pictures would have loved to have gone on this Bowling Tour such wonderful weather am really envious, did you win many of your games always difficult playing on fast greens when you are used to heavy grass sure my wood would have been going into the ditch

Hi Peter Pan & All,
Did have a laugh when I saw this Photo, not sure where she is looking!!!!
She should know better, wouldn't do it in my day!!!!
Anyway my Caption Could be;
'Last time I saw a pair of legs like that was on a Chicken in the Butchers!!'
Thank you very much for the Posts Peter Pan an the Caption idea.
Keeps me young!!

Pictures are Very Good well worth waiting for, Our Club stopped going on tour because of falling numbers we always stayed in England did venture to Cardiff one year but nothing as exciting as Cyprus, going to forward World Bowler to our Captain might get him thinking about starting one for other years, Am going to look on Goggle and price up Holidays in Cyprus
Hi Peter Pan & All,
What a great thread and really interesting, cheers me up through the Gloom & Cold of January.
My caption would be
THAT'S A CHEEKY SHOT!!!

Hi All,
Thank you all for your support, over this bit of fun, 'Bargain Hunt', will keep caption running for another week, then I will let you know the one that is liked the most
Just to be on the safe side I asked the 'Lady' in question if this is O K, she is delighted, and has offered to pick the one she likes the most!!! what a sport!!!!
Did ask if I could say if it was the Husband/Partner or nobody in particular she said she would not say unless Bargain Hunt sent her a photo!!!!!! we shall see, Keep you posted,
Peter Pan8-)
Hi Peter Pan,
Hope you are adjusting to the U Ks warm climate,
My caption would be;
Don't recognize that one!!

Hi Peter Pan & All,
Love the caption idea, do wonder if we could have got away with it in this P C world IE; If a woman had the golf putter and a man was Looking, What captions would we have then!!! Perve etc etc. But then I think this is great, my Caption would be,
'This view would win the Rear of the Year in O.Z.'.
Looking forward to some more pictures.

Hi All and Competition entries,
Thank you all for your support this has really been a 'HOOT' at our end, the winning caption is on our notice board with the picture' not only is it raising moral it's taking the fellow tourists back to our wonderful time in Cyprus.
She decided on the caption from John as below;
THAT'S A CHEEKY SHOT!!!
It could have been anyone as she had a laugh picking the winner. Thank you for your captions and especially you John with the winner, she sends you a big KISS.
Thank you again, will be putting a few more photos of th tour on the site.

Hi All Bowlers,
My Outdoor bowling club is off to Menorca in September for 2 weeks staying at the hotel S Algar, has anyone been on a Bowling tour to Menorca or in fact stayed at this Hotel??
Any help will be gratefully appreciated, we have 38 members going on tour and our first Club Tour overseas.
Thanks Bowlers,
Barbie :cool:
Hi Barbie,
My Club went on a bowling Tour to Menorca in October 2007. The good things is that we are a Somerset Club and the flight was from Exeter!!
The Bowling green is just about 300 yards from the Hotel San Luis in S'Algar, we had games against ourselves/local club and another Bowling Club that was in the island at the same time.
Hotel was great, there was 48 on tour and made our own fun, the resort and hotel is quiet at this time of year so its good to be in a group.
Sure you will have a great time any queries let me know,
John:cool:

Morning Bowlers
I haven't posted on the Forum before but our Club is off to the Isle of Wight for our Indoor Tour,
Was wondering if any of you Bowlers had been on Tour to the Isle of
Wight and could perhaps give us a few tips on the best Places to go
Shall take the Camera with me and get some pictures, epically if we win a
few games
Early Shift:D:D
Hi Early Shift.
Our Club is currently on tour and staying at a hotel with an indoor bowling green.
When they are back will send you some photos and any info!!
Had a couple of phone calls, they say that they are really enjoying the week!!!!
