Open Triples May 26th – Winners – WoodfordJames Schiulaz, Greg Williams & Nick Casey

Men’s SectionOur nominations for teams in 3rd and 5th Division Pennants havebeen accepted and the draw has been placed on the notice board.Trials will commence Saturday June 5th starting at 1.00 p.m. We dohope all nominated players will attend (along with any othersinterested in playing Pennants) as a little forward planning is neededto ensure we are able to comfortably meet our commitments.

I would like to make special mention of the great results achieved byGraham Jewell and Don Ferris in organising sponsorship, mainly forour Wednesday and Pub games. I’m sure our Members and Guestsappreciate their efforts, the rinks are always full and everyone enjoysthe day. Very few of our Sponsors get the opportunity to join us for agame yet remain most generous in their support of our Club. Itwould be great to support them in return by buying local wherepossible.

Due to personal reasons we’ve lost the help (hopefully only for ashort time) of one or two very valuable and hard working members,though rarely thanked their special contributions have not goneunnoticed and on behalf of everyone we thank you very much for allyou have done for us.Unfortunately, this does mean that those left to organise things onand off the rink will need a little extra help from time to time, anyassistance, particularly for Graham on Wednesdays would be greatlyappreciated.

Cheers Bob [Men’s Secretary]

May - Work Your Mind -A large water tank has two inlet pipes (a large one and a small one) andone outlet pipe. It takes 3 hours to fill the tank with the large inlet pipe. Onthe other hand, it takes 4 hours to fill the tank with the small inlet pipe. Theoutlet pipe allows the full tank to be emptied in 7 hours.

What fraction of the tank (initially empty) will be filled in 1.14 hours if allthree pipes are in operation? Give your answer to two decimal places (e.g.,0.25, 0.5, or 0.75).

Solution:In one hour:-

the large inlet pipe fills 1 / 3 of the tank;the small inlet pipe fills 1 / 4 of the tank;the outlet pipe empties 1 / 7 of the tank; and therefore

all three pipes together fill [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 4) - (1 / 7) ] of the tank.

Fraction of the tank that will be filled in 1.14 hours =

1.14 x [(1 / 3) + (1 / 4) - (1 / 7)] = 0.50.

Make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.Have bouts with dementia ..

Have poor circulation;Hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

Can't remember if I'm 89 or 98.Have lost all my friends.

But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.

Fellow Members,After enjoying a great day of bowls recently and finishing off mysecond (or possibly third) cold beverage I realized somethingthat hadn’t crossed my mind before. We as a club are very luckyto have some extremely dedicated volunteers helping to makemy experience on the green, and afterwards, very special. I alsocame to realize that these guys (and girls) aren’t receiving thehelp and support they should from the rest of the members. Imyself am a relatively new member to our club with a full timejob and cannot supply any more time to the club than I alreadydo BUT when I am here there are a few more little things that Ican do to help to reduce the workload others.Little things such as bringing in the flag, retuning mats andkitties, helping with raffles or just returning your empty glass tothe bar can go a long way to easing the workload for these guys.It also takes a huge amount of work to organize these games sowhere possible get behind these events, whether they be aserious Club Championship or Pennants game or just a mufti ona Sunday afternoon. Place your name on the sheets provided;turn up on time and above all conduct yourselves in theappropriate manner.These are only small, common sense things but these littlethings can make life so much easier for our volunteers. I for oneam concerned that if we as members don’t get behind theseguys and support them in any way that we can, we may not havetheir support for much longer.

Yours truly,Concerned Member.

Bowling ballsA little old man boards a bus with a bowling wood in each of his frontpockets. He sits down next to a beautiful young lady, and she can’thelp but glance quizzically at the man and his bulging pockets. It’s anuneasy few minutes before, finally, the little old man can take nomore. “Bowling balls,” he nods reassuringly. The lady seems a littleshocked, and stares on. Moments later, she says: “Does it hurt asmuch as tennis elbow?”
