A fabulous day with great weather, and green now in wonderful condition. A great occasion with 64 youth bowlers all enjoying themselves, and some of the parents more tense than the kids. A great performance all day by the winner, with his defeat of Wayne Ditchfied, whose performance itself was outstanding getting to the last 8 (giving 4 all round). Two things stick out in my mind NOT ONE REPRESENTATIVE FROM BCGBA in attendance, are we surprised ? Suppose they will say weren't invited. And I had 2 under 18 entries in waterloo this year, they were Wayne, who is in last 64, and todays winner.
Finally am opening this up to 256 entries next year so will be advertising shortly, if I fill it and I hope to expect total prizemoney to be toawrds £2000, with the winner getting £500 so come on make sure ALL the juniors know about it, and lets show BCGBA that this game is not DYING, despite their efforts.
