Fun pairs

Lindsay and I played up at the St. Faiths Centre on Sunday, in the Russell Harris Fun Pairs.  The event was well supported as usual on a boiling hot day.  Derek and Jessica Shoesmith were in first place - well done to them.  We (somehow) lost all our five games but it was just nice to meet up with people who we hadn't seen for some time.  The red and black ring made its debut and nobody tripped over it.

We forgot to take the camera again!  Did anyone take any pictures?

Handmade throwing circle No.2

The circle is pretty accurate size-wise (within a couple of mm) and has turned out better than okay.  It is a bit time consuming though, especially the cutting out part which was done with a surgical scalpel.  I have noticed the red Gaffa tape didn't cover the black as well as I would have liked.  The underside of the ring doesn't look as good either but then it isn't on view.

We gave the circle a test run today but it had a tendency to curl upwards a little over time.  I blame the sun for this.  Not a problem though, as it can be used either way or moulded back.

I didn't bother writing down the scores, although I can remember losing heavily in my second game.  Lindsay and Jordan won both theirs.  Thank you to the Kettleburgh team for venturing out our way.

Special thanks to newbie Pat who filled in at the last minute.  Our next match against Laxfield B away, is now due to be played on Thursday evening, 17th May.  Thanks to Trevor Keeble and the pub landlord for their co-operation in allowing us to move the original match date.
