Hi Kernow bowler, thanks for the welcome.

The weather has been wet lately and was very cold this morning here in Auckland.

By the way where are you from?

[Angel]

Hi Kiwi Bowler
Great to welcome a new member,looking foreword to having a chat about bowling, driving all my friends who do not bowl crazy, they think i am quite mad.:D:D

[Surfer]

Welcome Kiwi Bowler, good to have someone from NZ
just finished playing, mens national club two fours and its getting dark hear, glad the game did not take any longer, or we would not have been able to see the jack, beautful sunny day down hear in Cornwall England.:D:D

[kernowbowler]

Hi Kernow bowler, thanks for the welcome.

The weather has been wet lately and was very cold this morning here in Auckland.

By the way where are you from?

Hi there, Im from Cornwall in the UK - it must be our turn for the weather - beautiful today, 24 degrees I think - first hot day so far.

I like Aukland though - went there once (just for a day) - nice city

[kiwi bowler]

yes we got our first frost for the winter today, but at least no rain.

Hope it's sunny this Sat as my clubs got our interclub play off's to see if we go up a grade.

I'm a weekend bowler (not retired yet), but I have been playing for approx 13 years now.:D

[Silver]

Hi kiwi Bowler, welcome got a few years on you, retired now, still trying to master the game, one day i think, yes the next i have a dreadful game, and am back to square one, that':Ds why i keep trying,:D one day i will get better.

[Frogett]

Welcome, good luck with your game, hope you win, we are busy playing our league games at the moment, had our county fours last week end, did not manage to win, looking foreword to the rest of the comp.;);)

[Bigbear]

Good to welcome someone new,what is the weather like in your part of the world, just of to cut the geen, Big Bear.:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi and thanks every one for the welcome, today was wet and cold here in Ak.

[Surfer]

Goof to hear from you, the sun is shining hear in Cornwall, yesterday we had torrential rain the men's county triples had to be abandoned and finished today, caused havoc with other games, great to be a Bowler

Welcome Kiwi Bowler, looking foreword to hearing about bowling over in NZ.

[kiwi bowler]

Well we won our interclub play-offs by default so we will be in a higher grade next year.

So as no interclub I went to roll up instead and had one of those top days where I couldn't do anything wrong. I play with Henselite Masters which take a nice wide green.

Also it was a loving sunny day (that was on Sat), where as today we have had both rain and sun.

[chacecottage]

Welcome Kiwi Bowler, hope the Bowling is good in your neck of the woods, good luck this season.:p

[kiwi bowler]

Thanks for the welcome everyone, even though my club closed for the season 2 weeks ago we will still carry on playing over the winter.

One good thing is we don't have to wear our Creams:grin:

We are playing today against another local club, for a trophy, it's a late start which is good as it's cold this morning.

[Surfer]

Hi Kiwi Bowler, do you play outdoors in the winter, or do you have indoor rinks, in Cornwall we only have two outdoor rinks, but the weather is usually dreadful so don't get a lot of bowling, there are a few indoor clubs but have got to travel a long way, good luck with any more games you are playing, weather is good today, just starting our summer, going to make the most of it.:cool::cool:

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Surfer, yes we play outside winter and sunmer. My club has 2 artificial greens, one is on it's last legs and we are hoping to replace it by next year.
The clubs with grass greens only, stop for the winter to work on their greens.
As far as I know there's only 1 indoor green in Auckland at a place called Pukekohe, which is approx 40 to 50mins from central Auckland.
I have never been there to play bowls as it's in a different Bowls Centre.

Thanks for that Kiwi Bowler, alway's wondered if you could play all year, real lucky, would love to live with weather like that, played the county singles Saturday got knocked out second round, raining cats and dogs hear, but pretty mild, do you have many competitions in the winter months, Surfer;)

[kiwi bowler]

Yes there's usually a tournament on at some club during the winter, but no centre events.

There's a bit of sellection too with 3 or 2 bowl triples or pairs playing 2-4-2 which I like because you get to play both lead and skip.

My club still has it's roll ups every Tues and Sat afternoon for men or Mon and Thurs morning for the women in the winter and yes it's a mixed club so we can go to all rollups if we wish.
But a lot don't and I can only play weekends as I'm still working.:(

Bit of rain today, just been looking on the site, must be nice to play outdoors in the winter, our weather is a bit harsh hear, we do have some nice indoor clubs, but its not the same, find the games take twice as long, and allways a bit stuffy, would love your weather.

[kiwi bowler]

Thanks Angel, was lovely and sunny today, even though it was a bit cold for me - just getting over the flu.:D

[Angel]

Hope you are better soon, hate to have summer colds and flu, hang on for ever, we are playing our Ladies County games soon, so its all go from now on, its raining today, some of our greens are a bit rough, pretty heavy to say the least, you can see your woods, bouncing up the green lots of rough patches, and runs, so wish us luck.:(

[kiwi bowler]

Thanks Angel, I'm a lot better now and went back to work today.
Good luck with your games and here's wishing you have some excellent wins.
By the way how fast or slow are your greens running?

[Angel]

Thanks Angel, I'm a lot better now and went back to work today.
Good luck with your games and here's wishing you have some excellent wins.
By the way how fast or slow are your greens running?

All depends which club we play at, got a couple which only go one way, never changed round, need to be a body builder to sling your woods up, some strange lines if you can get on the jack first, no one can get you off, its doing it thats tricky, but we get our own back when we get them on fast greens, their woods keep ending up in the ditch, hate playing in the rain, you slip and slide, trying to get woods up the green.:(:(

[Angel]

Hey Kiwi Bowler, think i must need specs, just noticed your picture, just bril :D

[Sam]

Had a quick look on members photos, great to see such a happy lot of bowlers, and did spot you at the top, good looking chap.:D:D

[kiwi bowler]

Thanks, I was sort of hiding at the back. ;)

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Angel, it doesn't sound like fun when you have to sling your bowls (woods) up. I'm used to playing on fast greens and don't like playing in the rain either.

[kiwi bowler]

Hi everyone, not a nice day here this Monday morning got rain and it's a little cold. I'ts our Queens Birthday Holiday so at least I don't have to go to work.:) But because of the rain the bowls today has been cancelled:(

[Wet Gear]

Good evening Kiwi Bowler, six O'Clock in the evening, been a bit busy lately,just thought i would say hello, no Bowling this evening, messing around on the computer, started to rain, would like some of your sunshine, have a good day.;)

[kiwi bowler]

http://www.smilecity.co.nz/img/smlWave.gif (javascript:aS(':)*')) Good morning Wet Gear yes it's nice here, but it's been cold today and started with a frost this morning.
But at least I know when there's a frost we don't get rain:grin:

I'm looking forward to the weekend to play some bowls and have a rest from work which is very busy as we are currentely short staffed.:(

[Blondie]

Hello just had a miserable day, having a bit of a moan, lost very badly, not going to mention the score, trying to forget, it was one of those games, know people who are Bowlers will understand, love to hear how the weather is in NZ, and you have a nice relaxing weekend, not too many beers, Blondie:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Sam]

Hi Blondie, know just how you feel, never mind, every game is different,next game you will win, big time, some times i come home, and say i am never going to play again, but we do have some great fun at the club, wouldn't give it up for anything, let us know when you win, good luck Sam:):)

Good evening Angel, glad you like the little angel, the seach engine I use to find things is "Google".
Anyway had no rain today, but was cold and a little bit windy. I'm hoping we have a sunny weekend as I'm really looking forward to playing some bowls. I been 2 weeks now since I last played a game of bowls:(

[Sam]

Hello Kiwi Bowler, i think i would get withdrawal symptoms if i did not bowl for a week, guess we are right in the middle of our summer season, sometimes feel that it is too much bowling, but our summer season is not that long, and if you don't live close to an indoor green, you are playing short mat or carpet bowls in the winter, not the same, you are so lucky to get some bowling in the winter.:D:D

[Angel]

http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/misc/angels/angel-fly.gifHi Wrong Bias
just noticed you were logged, on, how was your day today, nice sunny day here, hope the bowling is going well, got my county qarter final on Monday just hope it doesn't rain wish me luck.

[wrong bias]

hi angel,,,hope the weather is kind to you and you win by a bucketload of shots:)

[Angel]

http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/misc/angels/angel-fly.gifHi thanks for that Wrong Bias, i will need all the luck i can get, got a pretty strong opposition, watched our A play the B tonight mens team, always support the underdog, two teams got whitewashed, the third was fifteen fourteen at twenty ends, lost a four, game over, very disappointed, had a large drink, and came home to sulk. just pottering on the computer, Angel:roll:

[kiwi bowler]

Hi (Angel) wishing you all the best for your quarter finals on Monday and I'm sorry I can't be there to support you.

[kiwi bowler]

Yes Sam that's the way I feeling at the monent, but I know the rains going to keep away this weekend. ;)
Anyway how's your bowling going? and have you been practising?

[Angel]

http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/misc/angels/angel-fly.gifThanks for that Kiwi Bowler, i will let you know how i get on, if i get through the first round i will be into the final, need a miracle, but it is all on the day, If i should get through the final, i would be going to Lemington, where i would be playing the rest of the ladies in England, Think it is what all bowlers are aiming for, really lucky to get this far, O by the way what is the picture on your latest post, could not quite make it out just going to have another look, good luck with your bowling, Angel

[Angel]

http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/misc/angels/angel-fly.gifThanks, just put it on goggle, wish i could foresee my future, then perhaps not, it would have to be good, but lovely thought perhaps it will bring me luck, just had a friend who gave me a flower, which looks like a four leaf clover, but when it came out had a red flower, going to put in the garden, rain has just started, but not heavy, will have to wait for the call, to see if we are playing or not, if it does not come before twelve, shall have to get the waterproofs out, bye for now Angel

[Sam]

Yes i am still practicing, got a few competitions yet, don't want to let my team down, don't mind playing badly if i am in a singles, but hate to play badly when in a team, the harder i try the worse the game goes, just need to relax, not so easy to do, never mind, going to watch telly and have a drink tonight, love the weekends,:D:D:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Angel, I don't know what happened to the last picture, when I left it last night it was a cute little angel with blinking eyes:) must have been one of those sights they quick people, anyway going to remove it.

[Angel]

Hi Kiwi Bowler, not sure what happened, to your Angel must have missed it, shall have a look over the last posts, just to let everyone know, i lost today:(:( , did not do too bad a job, was twelve fourteen down , and holding four shots, and she came and took the jack back went down two, did this two or three times, think i lost heart, she was a very focused skip, and i don't play back end, still not whitewashed,:( never mind would rather lose first round than second,:D who am i kidding.

[kiwi bowler]

Hi http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/img/misc/angels/angel-fly.gifno didn't get to play bowls yesterday they had to cancell because the green was still flooded from all the rain during the night and sunday morning. But now the storms over hopefully we will be playing this weekend.:)

[Angel]

Not having a lot of luck with your bowling, weather is pretty bad, would be nice if it rained during the week, and stayed dry for the weekend, we dont get any bowling in our winters, has to be indoors, just lucky if you live near a indoor club, will keep my fingers crossed for you this weekend.:D:DAngel

Think that Lady will be hunting around, trying to find out who I Spy is, would love to be a fly on the wall if she finds out, the other ladies might not be too happy as well, I'm keeping my identity secret in case she is lurking around, with the camera .:rolleyes:

[wrong bias]

its good though,and its prompted me to try it out at my club,but if i were to take a pic of a nice lady stuffing her gob with ten pounds of high calorie cake,i would need to use a wide angle lens to make sure i could get it all in:rolleyes:

[Bigbear]

Made my day, haven't had a good laugh for ages, wide angled lens, yes would need one in our club, the one of the lady president i.with the pushers, great think i will get the camera out as well:roll::roll:

i can see it now bowling clubs all over the world crawling with guys with little cameras sneaking up on unsuspecting members of the fairer sex wolfing down mountains of cake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,smile please gotcha:)

[Sam]

Thats terrible, just had a vision, of people sneaking around, in bushes, got to laugh, had the best giggle all week, could get my revenge on the club gossips, with a few well timed pictures.:D:D

[Sam]

I would never eat large pices of cake like that, i cut mine up first very dainty, last longer.:D:D

[wrong bias]

get the camera out girl and we,ll all go on a photoshoot ,inconspicous of course:)

[Angel]

Got mine at the ready, i could really have some fun, could cause all sorts of problems,if they ever found out it was me, could be sent to Coventry.:D:D

[Angel]

Can just see you lurking around in the bushes wearing your kilt, with camera at ready, could end up in the local paper, not sure what the headlines would say.:D:DAngel Mad Bowler strikes again,

[firer]

Just been reading the latest posts, got a few photos myself, i always rip the bad ones up, look like someone is trying to murder me in some of them, if the lady with the cake, feels its unfair, I'm sure if she gets in touch with admin they will take it off, but then again she might like it.:rolleyes:???

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Firer, the Lady eating the pie most likely dosen't even know about the Photo, unless someone from this Forum knows her. Or I Spy has told her:grin:, but then he or she? is the one who took the photo, so that might not be a good idea:grin:

[kiwi bowler]

sorry cake not pie, :oops:

[wrong bias]

Can just see you lurking around in the bushes wearing your kilt, with camera at ready, could end up in the local paper, not sure what the headlines would say.:D:DAngel Mad Bowler strikes again,as long as there is no nettles,cos you dont wear anything under the kilt:p

[Angel]

Definitely no nettles round here, our bowling greens are, very nice.:D:D

[Blondie]

This conversation sounds very interesting, just logged on to last page, got my curiosity going, shall go back and get all the facts, brightened up a dull Friday.:D Bye Blondie.

[Angel]

Going off the subject, just got to tell you this, when the new roll ups came, thats stockings which stay up on there own, for all you gents out there, thought i would give them a try, half way through the game one started to slowly roll down my leg, so bending over i put my hand on my leg to stop it going down any further, and hobbled down the green, this kindly bowler came over, and said know just how you feel dear, my back plays me up all the time, must have looked a sight bent over and hobbled giggling into the club house, the chap must have thought i made a miraculous recovery next end. :D:D

[Flyfire]

Great story, Angel can just imagine that happening, could live off that one for a number of years, any more.:D:D

[Crabie]

Many years ago, when we used to have strings on the green, must be a few people who remember them used to put them out to divide the rinks and take them in at night tedious job, well one of our not so slim ladies tripped over the string, grabbed the nearest thing to her, who happened to be the club captain, he fell on top of her, what a sight no one could bowl for laughing the rest of the game,:D:Dnot so sure her hubby was happy she had large thermal knickers on.

[Bigbear]

Don't get anything like that happening at our club, do remember the strings, taken them in often enough, don't know any clubs who still do this, least you knew when a wood was out, got to get them darn mirrors out now.:rolleyes:

[Lardy]

Hello everyone, just joined the site, thought i would say hello, have been bowling a few years now, hope your bowling is going well. LARDY:Dlike the stories folks,

[Surfer]

Hi LARDY nice to welcome someone new, how is the bowling going this year, and what is the weather like in your part of the world, bit wet at the moment, all games cancelled.:(

[Sam]

Just to say hello LARDY, hope you enjoy chatting with us, don't mean to be nosy, but lardy is a bit unusual, is it a nickname, hope the bowling goes well for you,Sam.:D bit cheeky, sorry.

[Lardy]

:DJust to say hello LARDY, hope you enjoy chatting with us, don't mean to be nosy, but lardy is a bit unusual, is it a nickname, hope the bowling goes well for you,Sam.:D bit cheeky, sorry.

Don't mind a bit, many years ago, some wag gave me this nickname, bit of a large chap, still am, everyone calls me this, got used to it now, :Dno offense taken, one chap thought they called me yardie, thought i might be a gangster,

[Sam]

Hope your not LARDY, better keep on the right side of you, have you finished all your county competitions yet, we enter a lot of Tournaments in August great fun, some good prize money as well, Sam:D

[Angel]

Get a lot of Tournament's, down our way entered the club one myself, pretty good prize money, but its more the chance of beating a chap, get all the girls, cheering for you.:D:Dmind haven't beaten one yet, play a different game, thats my excuse.:(

[Flyfire]

:D Welcome LARDY.

Love the Tournaments, only trouble is a lot of them, interfere with club competitions and league games, keep having to get subs in, takes a bit of juggling,:(

[Sam]

Know just what you mean, have to be very careful when entering these Tournaments, with all the rearranged games we had last year, it was a nightmare, with the weather this bad it will be another year of fitting games in Sam:)

[firer]

Welcome LARDY, like you i am a bit of a newby to the site joined a wee while back, just haven't had the time to get on the computer, think the weather has something to do with it today, fed up with the tele, and the rain.:(
