I also agree with the posts above :) This will be my third junior shield this weekend, and to be honest i WAS excited, but not anymore, after hearing that Junior Shield is handicapped this weekend i am considering whether or not i even want to put a ball onto the lane, this event has been...

Well done to those that have made their teams & good luck to those yet to roll off. C'mon Frosty, you know you want to & from what I hear you are bowling well enough to make the team. Me, on the other hand need to find a major improvement in my game or I will embarrass myself more than usual. Jeff

Hey Gary I wasn't having a shot at anyone with my earlier post it is just every year there seems to people moving centers to where some think it will be easier to make a team. Personally, if I don't make the team because stronger/better bowlers have come across so be it. I just hope it is for...

Box Hill & Forest Hill

I'll be trying, (very), to make it into Forest Hills team again although from what I've heard that may a little difficult this year as there are supposed to be a few bowlers from other centers that have switched allegiances. To be seen to be believed.

Thanks Frosty. I was just about to post that we are alright. I hadn't given this forum a thought to let people know until I was at bowling tonight. We have started a collection & will be selling chocolates & lollies next week & we will take the proceeds up to the Kinglake...

Whatever happens...........happens. Just to throw a spanner in the works I can remember the first couple of times I bowled shield there was a lunch break, (definitely), & I'm pretty sure a re-oil but that was back in the late 80's. Different conditions & equipment to these days but if that's not...

Just think. The Kinglake bowl could be one of a kind with Kangaroos for pins & Wombats for balls. Just kiddin'

Gee, a bowl in Doncaster. If I win lotto I'd build a bowl in Kinglake. I already have the land but how many people would leave their comfort zone to bowl somewhere new? Just another rumor until I see it with my own eyes & people bowling.

I think the Kegel must have been thrown out @ Forest Hill because they have been using the OLD equipment the last couple of weeks.

Kegel's are only as good as the program put into them so lets all hope they have better training than they had with the last "state of the art" equipment they got .

Except for last year shield has always been the weekend after Melbourne Cup. In reference to a lunch break, the first year I made a shield team we had a lunch break & the lanes were re-done. That was in the late '80s & why it changed to no lunch break has always puzzled me. As for fundraising I...

Well done Chris, I didn't see them all but the ones I did see where solid. Again well done!

Just to say a big hello & welcome to Forest Hill's new manager Jeanette Baker! Great to see some-one with a passion for our sport in charge & we look forward to seeing our centre benefit from your enthusiasm & spark. Can't wait to see the improvements in all aspects of the running & conditions...

If you look like this after your follow-through you REALLY need some coaching!
