Hello Members,
Our Pennant season has been a challenge this year as some of
our games have been washed out due to the weather, however
they will be played at the end of the season if needed.
Our social bowlers are welcome to play on Wednesdays as there are vacant rinks
available.
PLEASE NOTE: If there are any women or men who would like to play on a
Wednesday morning please come and join us. Just ring the Bowls Office
66875439 from 8.30 am to 9 am to put your name in to play.
Bowls are available if you need them.

Just for a Laugh.
The teacher said to the new pupil “what is your name.?
The boy replied “One size fits all.” That’s unusual why did your parent
choose that?’ “They pulled it out of a hat.”
A cannibal was out hunting and had a fruitless day when he came
across a pygmy who had just caught a snake. The cannibal killed him
and took the pygmy and the snake home and gave them to his wife.
“What do you expect me to do with that?” she said.
“ Make a Snake and Pygmy Pie” came his reply.
Two ladies came into a bar and ordered wine. “Make sure I have
a clean glass as last time the glass was filthy.” a short while later the
barman brought their wine and said, “Which one of you ladies wanted a
clean glass.”
The invisible man went to the surgery and said he wanted to see
the doctor . The nurse told the doctor the invisible man was here. The
Doctor replied “Tell him I can’t see him.”
A loud mouth visitor in Australia was saying that everything he
saw here they had bigger and better in America. When he saw Lake Ayer
in flood he was mesmerised and said “Boy, I like to take this back with
me.” The Aussie said, “Well mate! If you can suck as hard as you blow
you can take it with you.”
The psychologist teacher was taking her first class and asked anyone
who was stupid to stand up. No one moved, after a couple of minutes a
little boy stood up. The teacher said “Why do you think you are stupid?”
“I don’t”, said the boy, “ I just did not think it was fair for you to be
standing there on your own.”
A man strapped in the electric chair was asked if he had a last request.
“Yes, will you hold my hand.”
A man was asked ‘What is the difference between ignorance and
apathy.” He replied, “I don’t know and I don’t care.”
A masochist said to a sadist “Hurt me’ to which the sadist replied “No!”
An American farmer was telling his Australian counterpart that he could
ride his horse all day and would not reach his property boundary. The
Aussie replied, “I had a horse like that so I shot it.”

Who Eggsactly owns the Egg.
A man owns a chicken and each day he collects the egg
for his breakfast. One day the chicken flew over the
fence into a neighbors yard and laid the egg. The
neighbor kept the egg so the chicken’s owner demanded
he give the egg back. The neighbor refused so the owner
suggested that they settle the argument like they did in his
old country. “How’s that.” came the reply. ‘We kick
each other in the groin and the one that recovers quickest
keeps the egg. As it is my chicken I get first kick.” he
goes back a few paces and charges in and give the
neighbor a hefty kick which sends him flying and
writhing in pain on the ground. After 30 minutes the
neighbor climbs to his feet and prepares to line up the
owner who says, “Aw! Who cares, keep the egg.”
