I'm sure the people who know me are aware that yesterday I was helping raise money for disabled children and there familys.

After spending a million trillion hours folding raffel tickets and arranging a tombolla to raise more money...

the bowling started

it was a wonderful day and we had managed to get some professional england bowlers to take part



The girl in the centre is Zara Glover, she has been world Champion a few times and took time out to help us raise much needed money. The girl on the left is an england bowler called Lisa Johns also bowled yesterday.

We managed to raise nearly £1800

It was fun and i know Roger would have been proud.

Roger died last year of Bowel Cancer he was 50. The charity was his baby and all his family and friends are dedicated to keeping it going in his memory.

oh neat, that's why you were bowling?

Natsume said:

yeah, thats why i left chat early (if you can call 2am early)

I bowl anyway, i have done since the age of 9, Nearly all my friends do bowl which is why the competition was set up to raise money.

It was a great day, very emotional because we all had Roger in our minds and hearts but we made alot of money that is very much needed.

already talking about next years

Natisse said:

hiya tisse.

Shame you couldn't have been here.

maybe next year

hope you get better soon sweetheart.

(theres a beginers section for people who have never had lessons if you want to bowl next time, you get to bowl with the pro's it's great fun and the more people get involved the more we can help the familys)

you know I'd love to come bowling with you sometime!

sounds great! you know, I've never ever bowled in my life,
although I would love to bowl with you guys.

But ehm, is the hall insured against beginners damage?

IstenSzek said:

It really was...

I'm thinking of trying to do something similar for the drug and alcohol charity where i volunteer as they need more funding all the time to start new projects in the community.


and yes the bowling ally would be insured againsn't damage, even disasters on our scale would be covered WHEN you come over I'll take you, we can drag tisse along too

you really can't be any worse than froggy

(just don't kick the wall in frustration we found out a couple of weeks ago they are hollow and your foot goes through very easy

lollyp0p said:

I could have sworn I saw Froggy claim somewhere
that he bowled consistent strikes heheh.

And for bowling with you and your mates,
and even Tisse!!!

Will we all wear matching shirts?

IstenSzek said:

Of course we will have all matching t-shirts, they will be be lilac

we will have our names embroidered on the back like pro's


whats our team gonna be called?


froggy was being a little fibber if he said that although to be fair he is good for a beginer and he never listens to instruction

lollyp0p said:

You've said it all there... it was emotional but it was worth all that and all the effort that went into it for a very good cause.

You know Roger would have been very proud

lollyp0p said:

"ThreadJackers United"

I wish I could have been there!

I wish you could have been there too

next year we will need lots more beginers

lollyp0p said:

oh for fuck's sake... i'm tired of all these slurs.

i am NOT THAT BAD.

lollyp0p said:

i do try and touch my ear.

and i look at the lane, not the pins now.

i even use the markings on the lane to judge where i should stand.

and you say i don't listen to you!!

bowlin' lolly

lollyp0p said:

Who says I am a beginner? I am good with balls

TheFrog said:

i bet you still twist your wrist though and pull it across the lane

Follow through

Pandurito said:

well i tried in all fairness i bowled crap, 175 average

but hey it was all about the money so i don't mind loosing just this once.

Hamsterhuey said

I bet you are, although i wouldn't fancy hurling the ones you are an expert in down a lane



then again...

Congrats Lolly, that’s a great effort for a worthy cause. What’s the name of the charity?

You can count me in for next year, I was North Wales under 16 champion!

Didn't turn pro though cus of a terrible wrist injury.

My winning shot, took the end and the tournament








Oh! Not that kind of bowling huh

PREDOMINANT said:

lollyp0p said:

Wasn't it Bowling for lolly ?

PANDURITO said:

lollyp0p said:

Glad you did well for a VERY worthy cause

REDBABY said:

thanks sweetie

REDBABY said:

That was a joke! The whole saga was very strange though, I just turned up one day to a local village thing had a go at the old bowling, some old fart said that I was good and did I want to compete in two weeks? I say sure, go, win (with an awsome but fluke winning shot) and I have never bowled since Still have the trophy somewhere

I am definately going back to it though when I get official old fart status
