congrats to all my NSW friends who made the teams!! Nice to see such a good group of people...plus Richard- joking! :-} hope to see you in Adelaide if not before considering the rumour floating about that a couple are making the trip down here to check out the ACT competition- prepare to be...
I would like to say that the closure of Queanbeyan Bowl has left quite a hole to fill in my own life. Not only am I now unemployed for a couple of weeks, I now may actually have to get a real social life! No more QBN bowl to escape to & spend hours on end, no more going to work early just to...
Just to reiterate- in future, if you can provide hard copies- that is, actual printed copies of any forms we would be glad to assist. Our photocopying budget is already pushed! :-)
BTW, The only copy of the entry form for the CTBA champs that I personally saw was the one I printed from...
While I personally have never bowled Deveer my Mum and many friends have and were always complimentary of theexperience in the past. Reading Richard's previous post both upsets & disturbs me given that I have always been of the opinion that Deveer was a success. It seems like this years TBA...
It is a shame that the championships are not going ahead. I know of 1 person in particular who was very much looking forward to competing.
For any future tournaments that you may be holding, Queanbeyan Bowl would be willing to advertise to our bowlers provided that someone from the CTBA...
And that is where this should all end. Well said Clemow!!
Because, Mr Chin from SA, if you read my first post properly it was designed to cause controversy- hence the reference to putting the cat amongst the pigeons.
I believe that there is a place for BOTH Deveer and Rachuig in the...
These threads have started to divert into personal attacks rather than concentrating on the issues at hand, issues which I recognise have 2 diametrically opposed points of view. While we can agree to disagree about the CORE issue involved in the deveer threads- that is, the fundamental changes...
Having started this and having read with great interest the posts that have followed, I have this to say: the bigger issue at hand appears to be the perception of Deveer is that it is a cheats way to be called a state representative. I agree with the point made previously that you can not tar...
Question to all: How many Deveer bowlers out there, in all states and territories were consulted about the proposed changes to the Deveer format?
Is it not the case that bowlers pay a sanction to the TBA for the right to be consulted over issues such as this? How can the few make a decision...
It appears that the path of anti-establishmentism may be taken. Is this the path to enlightenment? And just when Deveer had been a joy for those involved too :sad: :cry: Let's shift the focus of our unrest to the TBA :snipersm:
OK, is it a case of no more TBA- breakaway time?? A very big call!! :D ;) :confused: :) :idea: :?: O:)
I enjoy generating controversy, it's fun!! :angel:
Thanks for the...um...support/constructive criticism (not sure which). Let me get this straight, I am not passing judgement on Rachuig bowlers individually; in fact I consider many of them to be friends. It remains, however that the opinions of the outside observer appear to be just as relevant...
How about this: If TBA thinks that they have to choose between DeVeer and Rachuig then why not get rid of Rachuig (cat amongst pigeons:D )
Surely, to follow the elitist mode of thought, Rachuig is a "stepping stone" to the Australian team and therefore the overall standard of Rachuig must be...
