Pavilion 173-61 King Alfred Pavilion 11pts 0pts King Alfred Once again we benefited from an excellent start, finding ourselves fifty shots up after ten ends and then steadily increasing the leading margin to one hundred and twelve shots at the conclusion of the game. This was a first class performance; yet again; across all rinks especially from Tony Batchelor’s rink that came back from being seven down after ten ends to win by one shot, thanks to picking up three on the last end. The bottom line is that this win sees us safely through to division one next year. The win puts Pavilion at the head of the Division 2 table six points ahead of Arun who have yet to play their final game against King Alfred at home. King Alfred have two away games in hand but are now 31 points behind Pavilion. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of myself and the club, to thank and commend all the players who supported the cause so well throughout the season – their enthusiasm, commitment and all round team spirit was second to none. Well done!

Club Byelaw There have been instances of vehicles being carelessly damaged in the club car park where the person responsible has just driven off without reporting the incident. Quite apart from such behaviour being despicable it is also contrary to Club Bye-law law 13 that states:All Pavilion Bowling Club Members have a duty of care when driving in the car park(s) of the Club and if they cause damage to another vehicle the incident must be reported to the Secretary’s office who will then inform the person whose car has been damaged. Failure to observe this Bye-Law would be considered `Gross Misconduct`. Incidentally if such an incident occurred in a public place there is a requirement to stop and exchange details or report same to police within 24 hours. Failure to do so would amount to a criminal offence carrying a maximum penalty up to six months imprisonment, a £5,000 fine and discretionary disqualification. It is also a criminal offence to drive with uncorrected, defective eyesight carrying a maximum penalty of £1000!!
A Question of Law Law 18.1 (Crystal Mark) covers the situation surrounding trial ends. You frequently see players preventing a jack from being moved by a bowl during the trial ends. The law says that if the jack is moved during the trial ends it should be placed to its former position. As a marker in singles, if you prevented the jack from being moved by a bowl, you would be red faced should a player ask how far his wood move the jack?
