It isn’t often I feel moved to complain about folks lack of attendance at the bad boys club, after all it’s a free world and playing isn’t compulsory, but on this occasion I am making an exception.

This Tuesday we were meant to have 6 players on the oche, we ended up with three. Dave had forgotten that an annual event he needed to attend was taking place. Steve decided to stay in Cheltenham for the night and pulled out for the third week running. Colin couldn't decide if an hour and 45 minutes was long enough to cook his dinner before setting off so wasn’t sure if he could make it.

This left 3 players, not ideal. When booking future dates please, check your diaries, commitment and energy levels before letting other players down! The only alternative I can see is to reduce the number of fixtures to fortnightly which would give us enough reliable players to always have a minimum of four attending. Please email me if you have any other thoughts on how to improve the situation. End of moan.

Pete, Ian and Malc had to have four outings with the flipometers before we had a result. This ended up with the teams being Ian and Malc ‘v’ Peter. We managed to whip through 7 games with a final score line of P 1234567 / 0 IM.

The result could and probably should have been a little different. There were three games where the bull finishes could have gone to the opposition but this wasn’t a bullmeister week for Ian and Malc, however I seemed to be floating them in more regularly than I have for a few weeks which made a big difference.

Notable events:

Shanghai on (I think it was) 14’s for Malcolm.

Two centre bulls in one turn for Peter.

Bull Wars: Peter 5, Malc 1

Chart Changes: No Changes, but there are three clear bandings. 2 players 30/40%, 3 players 40/50% and 2 players 65/70%. Sadly Malc’s % hasn’t changed despite his first attendance of the year!
