27th April 2010 - Our first Away game with me as Captain, at Hoxne. The trouble with being Captain is that people assume you know what you are doing. Not exactly true in my case at this point. The green at Hoxne was very good, the Hoxne people even better. A very friendly but competitive set of games ensued which I think everyone enjoyed. However, they took a bit longer than anticipated to the extent that by the last end we couldn't even see the jack without someone in a white jacket pointing at it! Funnily enough I played some of my best shots then. Perhaps I should shut my eyes, I might play better. Captain Kristian and I totalled up the scores and found Wortwell had won, 70/55, a great start to the season! I even went on to win a raffle prize. As the new Captain it could not have been a better start, but it was all down to the players from Wortwell. Many thanks to the gallant opponents from Hoxne, we look forward to seeing you later in the season.

25th April 2010 - We had our Open Day today, where the green opened for the 30th season and we hoped to find new players for the Club. We were lucky and had one previous Member rejoin, and two new ones start. Margaret Wilcox, current Indoor Inter-club League Captain and previous E.B.F. Captain, brought along the League Cup that we had won for the sixteenth time. A photograph was taken of some of the players who helped achieve this with the cup and Margaret. Other photos were taken of the games on the Open Day. A great afternoon of Social play was had by all after a very wet morning.

September 2009 - I went to the Wortwell Bowls Club Annual General Meeting this evening. I went in as a player, and came out as the E.B.F. Captain. I'n not sure how it happened but it certainly was not planned!
