Dan became the latest member of the Wrong Bias Club – in the Tuesday Night League. Welcome, Dan. You’re definitely amongst friends!
Even Mike, as your skip, is looking up to you!!

Well done to Peter T, Peter J, Kevin K & Andy H who had a very tight MIddlesex Fours v Andy K & Co from Hounslow winning on the final end.
Between us, lots of our matches are going to the wire!  That’s good. We’re all improving.
it was also a Club win v our friends from Hampton yesterday. Top rink was Mike C, Tina C, Corale & Dan. Congratulations!

Yesterday gave Mike the first chance to award a Wrong Bias Club Certificate to Bill Rush! Such was the concentration on getting a good shot into the head, Bill forgot to turn the bowl round. Oops!

Bowls England have announced new sponsorship for our sport with Aviva, especially looking forward to introducing more people of all ages to take up the bowls mantle.

A familiar view with a familiar face!

Also check out their video.

Following our successful Over 50’s National Triples results, we have some more localised results.

Alas, Steve G’s triples lost their MIddlesex comp but Dawn won her MIddlesex Singles v Angela Frankland and the Two P’s (Twells & Judge) won on the last end of their Pairs at Herga.
The report said they were 6-18 down after 12 ends, crept back up to 19-19 on 19th end when they dropped a 2 to a somewhat flukey shot, so went into final end 19-21. They pulled the cat out of the bag with a 4 on 21st end to win 21-23.
great result, chaps!  They now face David Baxter & Jason Liddle from Century at CP in the quarter final.

Audrey is heading off to The Lawns to play Sandra Williamson-Mills – bit of a trek by public transport.
Dawn gets to play Tina, who had her Singles win v Barbra Bogan last week. I’m guessing that will be at CP too even though it’s a semi final and we won’t need a neutral green.

Andy H has reported that he & Will beat Glenn & Nick from Century  in the Middlesex Pairs last night 24-16. Great result!
They are at CP on Saturday in the Men’s Fours and hoping for a similar result!

Some of you will remember Wendy King (she left at least 11 years ago) and Gerry had news from her daughter.  For any of you would would like to respond, please email Gerry and he will pass your messages on.

Hi guys – first of all thank you for your concern about Mum and secondly, I apologize for not replying sooner.
Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2019. It wasn’t something that she wanted people to know about initially and even now she denies having it!!!! Obviously it’s not something that gets better, only worse. Her macula degeneration is a lot worse now too. Physically she has problems walking and generally getting about because of arthritis in her feet and vascular issues in her legs. So that’s the bad news.
On good days she talks about going back to bowling but in truth that will never happen. On occasion the old Wendy is still there but more often than not that person has gone.
She is still living with us at the moment although I think the time is coming when she will have to go into care. I feel very out of my depth a lot of times, looking after her.
She goes to a day Centre twice a week which she enjoys – when she comes home she never remembers what they’ve done but she knows she’s had a nice time, which is good.
We moved from New South Wales to Queensland last September and have now bought a house here. It has a swimming pool so I try and get her in there as often as possible just so she can exercise. She often complains it’s too cold!!!! Queensland is very hot!!!!
Anyway that’s an update for you all.
I will let her know that you’ve sent emails asking after her, I’m sure she will be very pleased.
I will try to keep you posted with any changes.
Thank you again for being her friends.
Much love
Sue
