Welsh u25’s triumph at BIIBC The Welsh u25 team, pictured right, were winners in the recent BIIBC U25 International Series held in Scotland at Aberdeen IBC. The team started confidently as ‘prospective champions’ and demonstrated an overall dominant display during the whole competition weekend.

Team Manager Steve Rees commented “It was very pleasing to lift the title for the first time since 2004 and the team thoroughly deserved their success after fighting like tigers from the first end of the opening match to the final end of the last match.

Sometimes to be successful in International competition you have to grind out results and this team certainly did that. There’s no better feeling than to win the series with your mates and the excitement was there for all to see.

For me personally it was very emotional to see the team play so well against the best under 25 players in the British Isles and I would like to thank the 18 players and my number 2 Ian Slade for putting so much effort into the series.”

Bespoke bowls tours to Bournemouth

Bowlaway, the Bournemouth-based bowls tour operator, changed hands a little over a year ago. Now, after a very busy and successful first year under new ownership, they are raring to go for the coming season - indeed, they will be hosting plenty of tours this year and taking more bookings for this year and for 2020.

Bowlaway still offers the same excellent standards of customer service for which it is known, and still works with high-quality hotels, ensuring your tour is not only great fun and well-organised, but also very comfortable. And of course, they still arrange bespoke itineraries of bowls matches to suit your timetable, making sure everything is smoothly coordinated so that you can have an enjoyable and successful tour with the minimum of fuss.

THE TEAM: Kirsty Speller is the newly appointed Manager of Bowlaway, she ran the business for more than 10 years previously and is now excited to be back after a year off. Kirsty brings fresh enthusiasm to Bowlaway and works hard to maintain the excellent standards for which Bowlaway is known.

Geoff Jones, a well-known figure on the local bowls circuit, is the long-standing Fixtures Coordinator.

Geoff has a wealth of experience, an in-depth knowledge of the vibrant bowls scene in Bournemouth and can arrange your tour itinerary and book match fixtures to suit your group.

BOWLAWAY HOTELS: Bowlaway work closely with some fantastic hotels in Bournemouth, all of which are known for their friendly and welcoming hospitality. These carefully selected hotels are conveniently situated within easy reach of the town and beach and have facilities to cater for bowling groups of all sizes. The company are also very attentive to any special mobility and dietary requirements.

BOWLS TOURS TO BOURNEMOUTH: Bowlaway organise both indoor and outdoor bowls tours. Together, Kirsty and Geoff take the hassle out of arranging accommodation, booking matches, and even coordinating transport. The all-inclusive bowls tour service is designed to be hassle-free for the tour organiser and great fun for the bowlers.

Bournemouth is a great destination for bowlers, with 30 outdoor bowls clubs in the local area, half of which are within a 10-15-minute drive of the partner hotels, with the rest within a 30-45-minute drive. For indoor tours there are three clubs within a 15-minute drive and many more slightly further afield.

There is also plenty to see and do around beautiful Bournemouth for non-bowling guests and on days off from bowling.

by Clive Barrett On the Saturday at the start of their 25th successive bowling tour Llandrindod Wells and friends made the long journey from Mid Wales to Eastbourne, and the so called “sunshine coast”.

The tourists were able to relax and settle into their hotel with a rest day on Sunday, then on the Monday the business part of the week began with a walk to nearby Parade Bowling Club near the seafront. On a lovely warm sunny day the visitors were struggling after 12 ends, but recovering as they got accustomed to the coastal greens to eventually get off to a winning start by 101 to 78, namely 23 shots, tour organiser Ken Price was captain for the day.

Tuesday saw the Mid Wales tourers travel the short distance to the friendly Hampden Park bowling club on the outskirts of Eastbourne, the weather being cloudy and cool compared with the very warm previous day. Although they won on four rinks of the six rinks the Llandrindod Wells & District team suffered their first defeat of the trip, because of a high losing rink. For the record the home club 99 shots, and the visitors 91, with Clive Barrett made captain for the day.

For their day off on the Wednesday there was a return trip after a number of years to Hever Castle, where Anne Boleyn the second wife of Henry VIII spent her childhood. This impressive historical Castle contains wonderful exhibits of furnishings, paintings, tapestries, fine furniture and award winning gardens.

Despite a showery day, the excursion was a very enjoyable experience.

On the Thursday the bowlers returned to business visiting the very picturesque village of Lindfield, and the local bowling club. The tourers were up against a strong team including English international ladies (who had played at Llandrindod Wells two years ago in the British Isles Championships, and this was one of the reasons the tourists took this friendly), plus some county bowlers. Therefore it was no surprise that the “silver surfers” suffered their highest defeat of the week, overall losing by 40 shots, 117 to 77 and only winning one rink. The captain for the day was John Rees, who this summer has been the Llandrindod Wells Bowling Club vice captain.

On the Friday morning, which was cooler with the rain holding off on a very windy day, the group had the opportunity to browse around the county town of Lewes, with its several antique shops. Later they travelled to nearby Rottindean, to again enjoy friendly hosts and greens, winning three rinks and drawing another. The closeness of the scoring was shown because Rottindean's highest winning rink only triumphed by two shots. This year the ‘new’ dragon mascot traditionally awarded to the skip of the day's highest losing rink was shared by the Prices' David for two and a half matches and unusually Ken for one and a half. As usual money raised during the tour will be presented to representatives of the two local charities supported by the tourers at a later date.

So the Mid Wales tourers ended with two wins and two defeats in a most enjoyable week, with the weather being much drier than back home in Wales!!!!!

At the annual presentation evening organisers Ken Price and Brian Jones were thanked and received a gift for all their hard work in arranging such an excellent tour.

Spotlight on Drakes Pride Bowls PROFESSIONAL: Very successful on both indoor and faster outdoor greeens. A mid-bias line with a consistent finish offering a greater range of shots. Medium & heavyweight, sizes 00-5 heavy/ medium.

XP BOWL: XP Numerous top players have assisted and advised Drakes Pride on the ideal line they are looking for in an outdoor model, this has resulted in the 'XP'. The perfect balance of the Professional whilst adding the touch more bias required for the outdoor game.

Sizes 00 - 5 Heavyweight only D-TEC: The profile of this amazing new model was designed to meet the demands of the Team Drake players who were looking for an indoor model with a tight line with just enough bias to turn into the head, but with a soft finish with no hook. The feedback from players has been superb.

Bowl Profiles TIGER The Tiger is a full biased model that was developed because of the increasing need for a bowl that suits a multitude of playing speeds.

The Tiger will suit both the competitive player and the more socially minded bowler.

The bowl has proved to be one of the most successful ‘TV tournament’ models since its introduction.

Due to the ‘Ergo’ profile, the Tiger is appealing to new and existing bowlers who require improved delivery.

TIGER II The Tiger II is the third member of the ‘Ergo’ family of bowls, complimenting the very successful Dreamline and Tiger models.

There is a growing trend in many clubs for a slightly wider bias bowl than the Dreamline.

The Tiger II is a mid-biased bowl that will suit the player looking for a multi-purpose set of bowls.

It is a contemporary design of bowl with a gentle and predictable trajectory, and is the widest drawing of the ‘narrow’ biased bowls currently available.

It is highly suited to all players,

The standard Henselite grip

including skips who may require a bowl that has a relatively strong finish to draw around short bowls in the head.

TIGER PRO

Given the huge successes of both the Tiger and the Tiger II, it was found that top bowlers were still seeking for a bias choice between the Tiger and Tiger II lines. After a period of testing, the Tiger Pro bias was manufactured as that ‘in between bias bowl’ that is much sought after. The Pro has become the fourth member of the ‘Ergo shape’ range. To be approved by World Bowls Ltd one day and used by Alex Marshall and Carol Ashby the next when winning the World mixed pairs says a lot about the quality and trust the top players have in the bias consistency of the Henselite brand.

CLASSIC II The Classic II is the original narrow biased bowl. This narrow version has less bias than the original Classic model.

Manufactured with a traditional Classic bias for bowlers who can play on all types of green and require a consistent draw.

The Classic II, with its midstrength bias, is well suited to slower outdoor greens and also performs well on faster indoor carpets in the UK. Distinctive finish commonly referred to as a ‘hockey stick bias’ and recognised for its ability to draw around cluttered heads.

Atomic Red

Ocean Green

CLASSIC TRL The largest selling bowl in the world. This bowl was established in 1930 and is still standard in most countries. Winners of more gold medals at World Bowls and Commonwealth Games than any other model of bowl. The bowl, with the famous ‘hockey stick bias,’ is an excellent wide drawing bowl for holding greens.

Deep aeration cures waterlogging long term

GREENS & GREEN MAINTENANCE

Heavy downpours of rain on compacted grass areas on sports pitches, bowling greens, golf courses and amenity areas can leave standing water, rendering them unusable and stopping play. The action of normal aeration, use of machines and foot traffic over time can leave areas compacted and panning occurs, causing poor drainage and depriving grass roots of oxygen and nutrients. Sports turf specialists Terrain Aeration have been providing a long-term solution to this for over twenty five years, using one- metre deep penetration of the playing surface.

The Terrain Aeration Terralift machine not only solves the immediate compaction problem, the process has a beneficial effect that lasts many years. It works like this.

The Terralift hammers a hollow probe one metre into the soil using a JCB road breaker gun (this is because the ground is usually so compact at depth that it needs this hammer to break through). Once the probe has reached one metre depth, compressed air is released up to a maximum of 20Bar (280psi), the Terralift being the only machine using such high air pressure, which is needed to fracture and fissure the soil. The probe is withdrawn and the process repeated using two-metre centre spacings on a staggered grid pattern - this means that each shot interconnects with the previous ones.

On the tail end of the air blast, dried seaweed is injected which sticks to the walls of the fractures and fissures and, over time, expands and contracts with the moisture content in the soil - similar to ‘breathing’ underground. The 1½" probe holes created by the Terralift machine are backfilled with aggregate to provide a semi permanent aeration/ventilation shaft, helping to keep the whole aeration process working. The top 1" should be topped with the usual top dressing to encourage grass growth over the probe holes. The Terrain Aeration process is ecologically sound, there is no mess and once the pitch or green has been given a light mow it’s ready for play to resume. www.terrainaeration.co.uk
