Firstly, many thanks to Carol and Pat for organising this first session and also to Sheila for taking over placing Nick’s woods and Terry and John for there invaluable advice during the session.
The reason for these sessions is to help ESMBA members to gain confidence and knowledge to enable they to take part in County. Competitions/Leagues in the future if they wish to.
The session started with Carol explaining why it was taking place and Pat explaining the teams and format of the session.
League teams are made up of 3 players with 2 bowls each, not 3 as is played in our social games.
This requires greater skill and understanding of the game. A league game is made up of 2 half
1st half is 2 trial ends and followed by 9 ends, then a break for refreshments
2nd half is a further 9 ends.
The option is to play a 1st half, stopping when members need information or advice.
The session went very well and at the debriefing members said how much they had learned and appreciated the help they had received, it had been a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
The next session will be on Friday 30th January, 2pm to 4pm.
Now follows photographs.
