At the James Garden Lawn Bowling Club in Toronto Canada http://www.jamesgardenslbc.ca/ , October is the end of
the bowling season. By the end of the month the last day to clean out lockers has
come and gone. If you know the combination for the lock on the bowling shed you
can still get mats, jacks etc. Most bowlers are gone. It can be rainy and cold.
Alley bowling, curling, hockey and figure skating beckon for a large part of the
membership. This is a good time for me to get out, on the better days, to
practice running shots and drive shots. Now there are no people playing on
adjacent greens to find you a nuisance and to grumble or to disparage your
first novice attempts. Even when you could confine all the bowls to your own
rink during the popular bowling months, there was a vocal contingent who thought
giving anything more than a nudge to opposition bowls was not sporting. Now I
can practice in secret!
From the end of December until the middle of March I will be in Sydney Australia
where my wife and I have been invited to play and take advantage of the coaching at the
Turramurra Lawn Bowling Club.
