Crown Green Bowls, the late Ted Roche and another great day with NLPD

There are enough word options within the title of this piece to guarantee a bit of exercise for the old Chuckle Muscle... and then there follows a fair description of a fine day.


Woods were caressed and polished, new trainers were made to be as intimidating as possible and Rods joke book, "worth a few bob of anyones allowance" he claims but the market has yet to respond.

To ensure a fair game players were selected in random pairs and when the oldest and youngest players ( jonathon and George - yes fishing hero George ) were paired all eyes fell on Keith W and Andy as 'avin a Jack Pallance.


The loudest cheers seem to have been reserved for the announcement that i would not be playing due to injury but rest easy names were noted.


Now we have a fair few decent players who made a real game of it and each team received a warm round of applause as we dined sumptuously thanks to Christine's re enactment of The Sermon on the

mount approach to the post match reception. Well done to everyone who took part- Fran and Bob broke into their world tour and Tracy - by far our most vocal player despite the earplugs I issued prior to the start. Huge thanks again to the bowls committee including John T, Keith Mc and their henchman.


So honestly if you are missing out on the fun and games you should come along and see what makes nlpd special.
