Welcome to our
Christmas Party Break
Up Day!
A big thank you to
all the ladies who made
donations for the
hamper and gift baskets.
Gala Day
Our Gala Day was held on 20th November and President Barbara welcomed District President
Maureen Bradford and teams from North Haven, Kew, Comboyne, Wauchope, Lake
Cathie, Westport, Port Panthers and of course Port City, a total of 100
bowlers.
The day was a great success, which enabled us to present a cheque for
$1,175 to the District President for the Women’s Bowling Association. This
money is used to cover the expense of accommodation and petrol for our
travelling representatives. Twelve
lucky players also received lovely Fruit & Vegetable trays.

Joke
There once was a Tsar in Russia whose name
was Rudolph the Great. He was standing in his house one day with his wife. He
looked out the window and saw something happening. He says to his wife,
"Look honey. It's raining."
She, being the obstinate type, responded," I don't think so, dear. I think
it's snowing."
But Rudolph knew better. So he says to his wife," Let's step outside and
we'll find out."
Lo and behold, they step outside and discover it was in fact rain. And Rudolph
turns to his wife and replies," I knew it was raining. Rudolph the Red
knows rain, dear!"
It’s a Fact
Position
on the mat (Law 20)
Before delivery a
player should be standing on the mat with one foot fully on the mat. At the moment they deliver the jack or a
bowl, the player should have all or part of one foot on or above the mat. Any player not meeting the terms of this law
is committing a foot-fault, and law 21 will apply. (Covered by 21.1 to 21.4 on
pages 47 & 48)
