Our 2004 celebrations started on a lovely day on Saturday 1st May with a match against rinks representing the SBA, GBA and Past Presidents of the club.

Where
have all the players gone? For those unfamiliar with the bowling world, a
deserted head like this during a match is a mystery, but bowlers will know
exactly where everyone is!!
After
the game, the SBA and GBA representatives presented mementos of the occasion to
President Gillies Lang.
Lesmahagow
and Bearsden players gather on the green with the sponsor's banner!

Tom
Turkington telling tall tales!
Annual Triples
Competition on 24th July
Started in typical Scottish summer conditions, in which the view from the bar
was popular.
Teams
kept up to date with progress from the scoreboard until the final was played in
sunshine!
Tom
Hamilton shows good style in his delivery, but Scottish Indoor Champion Stuart
Sloan shows his red bowls know the way to the jack outdoors, too!
The weather in August was unduly wet, and our Green Convenor took this
image to show that we could have opened as a swimming pool. After one
cloudburst during the Ladies afternoon, they had to rescue their bowls from the
green by taking off shoes and socks and paddling out for them when the game was
abandoned!
