To Sarah's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one. Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize" they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention? Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells. – Wendy Flack
Sky’s the Limit as Dashing Dan Makes Dazzling Debut
W
hile we tend to curse a bit when the wind starts to blow hard at Sorrento, the arrival of Dan Nicholls has been a welcome breath of fresh air.
For out of the blue Sorrento has gained a bloke who undeniably brings talent, exuberance, loyalty and YOUTH to our Club. At the age of 24 the affable redhead is the sort of person Sorrento needs in its ranks if it hopes to keep pace with the evolving and competitive nature of bowls at the top level. In only his first season at our Club, Dan has incredibly taken out the prestigious "Men’s Bowler of the Year" award after winning the Single’s championship as well as sharing victory in the Men's Pairs championship. His role as a Skip also played a pivotal role in Sorrento holding its place in Premier Division.
