County Badge

[tourist]

Hi Del,

Great area we stayed in a rented villa overlooking Denia area, the villa was
in Monte Pego, they are built on the top of the mountains with magnificent views. (Pleased our planning laws in the U.K. would not allow anything similar but the views were out of this world!!!!).

Last year Four of us, all bowlers bowled at El Cid & Binitachel bowling clubs, it was mid September and still quite hot.
Mid August I think would be quite a bit of a push during the day, late afternoon would be bearable!!

What struck me is that nearly all bowlers who were resident were whiter than us!! they spend all their time keeping out of the sun as we keep out of the rain!!!!!

Had a great 2 weeks there, need a car but well worth it!!!
Have a great holiday!!

Thanks Tourist,

Thats really helpful, we are off next week stating just outside Denia in a rented Villa, sounds a bit grand, have to wait & see!!

We plan to have a couple of games they will lend us some woods, they have been really helpful will let you know how we get on.

I know more than a few colleagues who like myself will never get one it was much better when you could earn your points.

Was there a reason why they stopped this

My friend played in the final of a Competition for unbadged Bowlers on Saturday if she had won she would automaticaly get her County Badge,
Before they changed the rules she had a number of points which she had won after amaligation with the men she lost them,
Coming second in this competition woud have ment she only had to get a few more and she would have been badged,
She is right back where she started so far she has not been picked for any County games and the way the Ladies work ( She wont be)

Can see some Bowlers giving up and saying Sod it,

Surly Angel, a Lady wouldn't say 'Sod It'. mind you this time of year when bowlers get a little tired, they might.

I think unification has altered in some areas both male/female ways to get a 'mickey mouse County badge'.

Sounds a bit sour grapes, probably is!!
