Objective achieved

Well, sort of. I've made the club team in my first season. The indoor team. But it's a bit of a soft target, since we've entered two teams of seven players in the indoor league and players will be rotated through the fixtures to all get an even chance of playing. No doubt if I started bowling every wood with the wrong bias I'd get dropped, but otherwise it's a much more relaxed affair than the summer leagues.

Apparently it's a totally different game from outdoor bowls, the major difference being there's much less effort needed to roll your wood to the jack. Not really worried about that... just want the opportunity to keep learning.

My first game is against the White Hart. They're the top team in the area for both indoor and outdoor bowls and have several England internationals on their team. Flippin' 'eck, I've only been playing for three months and I'll be up against an England player? Gulp!

The ties that look most fun are against St Ives B. I miss the first tie against them, but am playing in the tie on 27 November.
