The forecast for Wednesday, 6 June, was for widespread woods scurrying across the manicured grass of Ninfield Bowls to precipitate themselves on the little white sun, aka “the jack” somewhere ahead. There was of course the long and short of it, short and long jacks, short and long woods mixed in with a variety of too wide and too narrow. There was also a mixture of skills, some more proficient and some who were on the mat for the first time. But whatever, as the correspondent understands, everyone had a wonderful time. Not all ventured their skills on the green but were satisfied to enjoy the antics from the sidelines. After the bowls the players, spectators and those who couldn’t make Ninfield enjoyed a social meal – and no doubt, a few pints at the Black Horse Inn at Telham
It sounds like a very pleasant evening and a very big thank you to Ninfield Bowls Club for allowing the club to use the green, the facilities and the expertise.
As a regular bowls player myself, but unable to join in on that evening, I tell myself that bowls is the easiest game of all to play. You only need to get two things right – the weight and the green. Easy? But mostly, ne’er the twain shall meet and thereby hangs the challenge.
