I was quite upset at the time as I actually have mousey coloured hair, and really thought that mousey would have been a more appropriate name to call me. I told the man that he was in fact incorrect to call me blondie when my hair was mousey in colour. He then pointed out that I had died my hair blonde. I forgot that I had done that the day before. I apologised and told him he was right to call me blondie.Then I walked away and bought some McDonalds. I think I ordered a Big Mac.

A prodominate club in the Grampians Bowls Association GBA, had all its players selected in the div one group game withdraw because they would be too busy celebrating a pennant win, which they would be playing in three weeks time. You have to appluad their confidence, but this bowler can only hope they get their assets kicked in the pennant final and not only get a flogging, miss out on representing there association in the future. I somehow doubt the selectors will have the bollicks not to pick them in the future.

The constituent clubs in the YVBA are Cockatoo & District, Healesville, Marysville, Warburton, Yarra Junction. If Marysville leave then there are only 4 clubs left. Maybe all 5 will go Metro or maybe a couple of others will move to another association.
I'll never be a good example so I might as well be a great warning !!

Aren't all country groups made up of 4 associations?
If they disband YVBA that group will only have 3.

That is one long trip, 97km from the GPO going by Google Maps.

If we work on a 100km radius from the GPO for Metropolitan Pennant then we will be able to bring in a lot of teams including a lot of very good ones.

If we went to an open draw for division 1, then the trip from Torquay to Karingal would be fun.

Highton: 85km
Geelong: 75km
Torquay: 97km
Kyneton: 87km
Warbarton: 77km
Drouin:100km
Lang Lang: 86km
Rye: 98km
Cape Shank: 100km

Warragul: 104km
Seymour: 111km
Ballarat: 115km
