Forty seven ladies play their first bowl of the season at home club

Now on with the the game yours Truly waiting to put down my bowls

The Next three the Official opening of Ovens and Murray

Your truly hands on hips waiting my turn and watching game

Afew bowling ladies

To End with a couple of Stories that were told at our bowling clubs opening

To A Needle

You dear little needle

my bright little friend,

how often you helped me to make and to mend.

So quick and so willing to lend me your aid

in loosing tangles that others have made!

there's many a fancy,there's many a dream

You've worked through a button,or into a seam,

but the dreams are delusive they rarely come true,

and fancies soon vanish when facts come in view ,

So sometimes it happens When nobody's near

the silk you embroider is marked by a tear.

Ah!how you have roused me with just a faint prick,

and urged me to labourwhen sad and heart sick;

Then bright-eyed and busy

you'd peep in and out

though the folds of whatever lay handy about,

Disdaining no cotton, no lagging behind

for texture or colourof a different kind.

My fingers caress you my true friend of old,

You could not be dearer if fashioned in Gold.

THE OlD ROCKING CHAIR IS EMPTY TODAY

For Grandma no longer sits in it;

She's off in her car to visit or shop

and buzzes around every minute.

No one can shove Grandma back on the shelf;

She is versatile, forceful, dynamic,

thats not a pie in the oven I see!

her baking today is ceramic.

You wont see her trundle off early to bed

from her place in the warm chimney nook;

Her typewriter clickety clacks through the night ,

For Grandma is writing a book.

Grandma never takes a hesitant step

to slow her steady advancing.

She wont tend the babies for you anymore

For Grandma is taking up dancing .

She is not content with the crumbs of old thought ,

with meagre and second-hand knowledge,

don,t bring your mending for Grandma to do

For Grandma has gone off to college .

The Ventriloquist
A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a
show in a small town in Arkansas.

With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes.

Suddenly, a blonde woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and
starts shouting:I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes.

What makes you think you can stereo type women that way? What does
the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a
human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being
respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person.
Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against
not only blondes, but women in general...and all in the name of humour! "The embarassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells, "You stay out of this,mister!
I'm talking to that little shit on your knee"!

Practice makes perfect

But nobody's perfect

So why practice?
