It has been a pleasure writing all the stories on behalf of the members and friends of Wentworth Bowling Club. It is with regret that I cannot continue as of now and wish the new scribe all the best.
Finally my tip for the week: If you can get John Somerville driving from the first end, you have a chance. My final piece of advice is, if you are the president it does not matter you still need to practise, as the selectors are watching you.
