I'm running a social lawn bowls tournament this Sunday at my club in Mt Victoria (best club around!). Will be a pretty young crowd, and am looking for more teams if anyone is keen?
 
-        Teams of 2
-        $5 entry each
-        $2 burgers
-        Good drink prices
-        10:30am start - 15 April
-        Prizes and fun!
 
It's all just social bowlers / people who haven't played before.
 
Weather forecast is good so get in! You can reply or message me if you're keen and reckon you can handle the 2nd best sport in the world.

Here is a review of our club from a social bowler:

"That bowls club is madness. What about the time a couple of months back we set the barman on fire"
 
(true story).

That's a BIG call!
 
Football is pretty good, but you're saying lawn bowls is better than football!?
 
Wow.

(Clearly yacht racing is the best sport in the world. Name another sport in which you can sleep, eat, drink alchohol, listen to music, read books, watch movies, and even bonk chicks while competing.)

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

All of those can be done at bowls too.

First kiss with my girlfriend was on the bowls green (took her there for cheap gins on the day I met her!).
 
Know a guy who has got 'a blowy' from a girl in the bushes to the side of the green during a bowls match.
 
Plus, bowls has $7 jugs on tap!

Evening social bowls league is on in November at Mt Vic Bowls Club. I'm in charge, so it's obviously awesome.

Get a team of four together, work colleagues, friends or whoever. Well, maybe not a full Yellow Fever team, as I'm not sure they'd be up to the physical challenge of it. Though, would probably do well on the bbq and bar.

Anyway, details here. Let me know if you're keen.

Team names preferably contain lawn bowls puns.

Will there be blowys this year?

Possibly. Teams of females get half price entry if they agree to give blowys to the team that comes out in the 'lucky blowys draw' each week.

If you get a 'squad' of 5 or 6 then you got reserves if people are unavailable... or.... preferably, drinks carriers.

Surge / I <3 Nix - reckon you could get a couple of others together, to get a team of 4, and maybe Tegal will be around some nights too... A Yellow Fever team would be good Nix advertising !

Starts next Wednesday. Weather looking nicer !!

Got at least 24 teams which is good as - including a team of nurses entered last week....

Cheaper than a night out in Courtney Place! (Was going to say Vivian Street, but not sure if that is still happening).

I'll join the team and turn up on Wednesdays that I'm not working. If there are enough players when I'm able to turn up,can always be a drinks runner or something! Would know over a week in advance if I couldn't make it either way,so plenty of time to find a replacement.

Only the first night is a Wednesday, the rest are on Tuesdays. Do you work Tuesdays?

It's random,depends if and when they need me etc. I'd know 11 days in advance if I can make it. Annoyingly for the first week I have Tuesday off,but not the Wednesday haha.

If can confirm a team this week would be nice for me, but I'll take entries up to Monday/Tuesday I guess. The more the merrier, late entries just mean late spreadsheet changes for me, but I can handle!

But let me know if you get the numbers. I can guarantee you a free jug if you all turn up in Phoenix tops! And chant! (no dives allowed on the bowls green though, we aren't Adelaide).

Yea, as Patrick said, first one on a Wednesday (to avoid Melbourne Cup clash), then rest on Tuesdays.

Subs are fine from week to week. Hope you don't have Ricki making the subs though? haha.

So, I thought it was Wednesday's throughout.  Tuesdays poss poses a problem as I am committed to running.

Fuck lawn bowls, I am joining a (ten pin) bowling team which will either be called "three fingered fun" or "Stephen Hawkings treadmill" (stupidly the team has let me create the team name and design the shirts).

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
