Richardk besides practice sessions does the bowls club have any comps or anything were you can join in with others to have a competitive game during May? ------------- Polli the dancing cat strikes again. |

We joined Richard & Lynn this morning at the golf club for a morning of bowls. We were made very welcome and really enjoyed it, great company, lovely facility and a cracking beer in the bar after.
Thanks to R & L and everyone who made us so welcome, highly recomend! ------------- Andrew |

I must try bowls one day. Surely it cannot be more difficult that trying to hit a round target 7' 9 and 1/4" away with a pointed object. Glad to to hear that there is something else people can do around here for a bit of fun. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Richard. I am coming to Albufiera for the winter(19/10-21/3) and would be interested in joining you for some regular bowling. Can you let me know what the form is, ie: membership costs, internal competitions and all relevant info you think I might need. Many thanks |

Paul, welcome to the forum but I'd edit your above post and take your e-mail addy off it. You can send Richard a PM with it if you wish but you'll likely attract a lot of unwanted stuff if you leave that up there. The bowling is great we went once, cracking green, lovely people, and good club house. ------------- Andrew |
