Things are going terminal

Arriving for the Friday roll up, spotted what I reckon is the terminal opportunity for me to play for the club's men's league B team in their last match of the season. Note the word 'terminal'. Already preparing for failure, consoling myself with the backup of achieving my 2013 aim if I make the indoor league team before the end of the year. If I do fail to make the outdoor team it's only through various cock ups on my part.

In my heart of hearts it's the outdoor team I'm really after, and ultimately not just the B team. But anything more will probably have to wait until 2015. Next year's target is to be an automatic selection for the B team.

Does the entry against my name look a bit desperate, with not just a tick but the mobile contact number as well? Hoping to hang around next Wednesday evening when the team is picked to make sure I maximise my chances of selection, dependant on one of the selected players being unavailable.

Of course nothing is ever simple... I've also got the last planning meeting for the St Ives Flower & Produce Show the same evening, the Show being on the following Saturday. Hopefully I can get agreement to start that meeting early and get down the bowls club for about 20:00.

Heard a scrap of interesting information. Apparently there's a group of bowlers who turn up some time each Thursday, chipping in 50p each and playing for the pot. Must find out more.
