A Question of Law
I was watching a club championship pairs match recently where the scores were level at the conclusion of the twenty-one ends. There then arose some uncertainty as to the procedure in
such a situation and nobody present had access to a copy of the laws. This specific scenario is covered by Law 50 of the WIBC LAWS OF THE SPORT OF INDOOR BOWLS e.g.
Playing to a Finish and Possible Drawn Game: (i) If, in an eliminating competition
consisting of a stated or agreed number of ends, it be found, when all ends have been played, that the scores are equal, an extra end or ends shall be played until the decision has been reached.
(ii) The managers in a side game or skips in a team game or opponents in Singles shall toss a coin and the winner shall have the right to decide who shall play first.
(iii) The extra end shall be played from where the previous end was completed, and the mat placed in accordance with Law 18.
(iv) In the case of more than one extra ends being required, then managers, skips or opponents shall again toss a coin, and the winner shall have the right to decide who shall play first.
(v) In the case of an extra end being declared dead the provisions of Law 17D and Law 18 shall apply.
Editor Booking Competition Matches
Please note that no internal, county or national competition can be booked to start after 4pm on Sundays. Similarly, during the rest of the week all bookings must take into account the club closing hours and all matches must be booked to allow sufficient time to finish within those hours.

Open Singles Circuit
A repeat of the Open Singles Circuit will be held at Pavilion on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th January 2017. I am pleased to say things are well on track as I now have forty-eight entries for the £1,000 first prize which means
there are only sixteen spaces left for Saturday, which I cannot reserve for members. THAT MEANS IF MEMBERS WANT TO ENTER PLEASE DO SO NOW TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTMENT.
Remember there is a £50.00 prize for the last member standing sponsored by IAN HART. I would be happy to refund entry fees should there be a legitimate reason for withdrawal so there are no excuses not to enter. On Saturday and Sunday at 10.00am I would appreciate the usual six markers making themselves available, so would appreciate you placing your names in my pigeon hole. It should only be one session as the losers should then take over. Some of the best bowlers in the south will be attending as well as others from Norfolk and Suffolk, so it should be a very interesting weekend. All members are welcome as spectators, with the kitchen and bar being open all day. Hope to see you all there.

Forged Five Pound Notes
Despite the Bank of England introducing a number of features to counteract fraudulent copies of the new polymer five pound notes, they are warning people to remain vigilant and check their notes as there has been a surprising influx of forged notes. Some simple steps can be taken to spot these forgeries e.g.
Check the see-through window and that the portrait of the Queen is correct.
Look at the Elizabeth tower to check it is gold on the front of the note and silver on the back
Check the foil patches
On paper banknotes, feel for raised print across the words 'Bank of England' Also on paper notes hold it up to the light to check the watermark and look for the metallic thread running through every genuine paper note. More information is readily available at

A New Take on Phishing
Lloyds customers should be on the lookout for a new sophisticated fraud that involves fraudsters sending fake bank letters. The convincing letters being sent are a replica template from Lloyds and include their logo, address and signature from a customer service representative. The letter tells recipients that there have been some “unusual transactions” on their personal account and asks them to call a number highlighted in bold to confirm they are genuine. When victims call the number, an automated welcome message is played and the caller is asked to enter their card number, account number and sort code followed by their date of birth. Victims are then instructed to enter the first and last digit of their security number. The fraud was spotted by the Daily Telegraph who was alerted to it by a reader who had three identical letters sent to an office address. On separate occasions the Daily Telegraph ran some tests using fake details and were passed to fraudsters who claimed to be
from a Lloyds contact centre. The bank has confirmed that the phone number and letters are fake. The letters are essentially a sophisticated phishing attempt and serves as a warning to consumers to question written correspondence from their banks. If you are ever suspicious about correspondence from your bank you should call the customer serviced number on the back of their card.

As it Happened
Jazz Night Proves a Hit
with Members
The inaugural Jazz Nite at Pavilion on 23
rd November turned out to be a big
success as jazz sextet ‘DrJazz’ entertained fifty plus club members and their guests with familiar scores that were hits in recent years; well maybe not quite so recent, including the likes of Frank Sinatra’s Fly me to the Moon, Astrud Gilberto’s The Girl from Ipanema, along with Misty, Summertime, Fever and much more. The Sextet comprised of two female
vocalists, keyboard, double bass (yes
that’s the big one) saxophone (clarinet )
an electronic digitalised wind instrument
that produced varying instrumental
sounds e.g. tenor/ alto saxophone, oboe
etc., There was a fifteen minute break half
way through the entertainment for light
refreshment then it was back for more
music. The evening came to a close all
too soon, with the band performing
Water melon man, to huge applause.
Social Director Keith Leather was on
hand ensuring that everything ran
smoothly. Everyone that I spoke to
afterwards, said that they had
thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
A big thank you to the social committee
who work earnestly to promote a variety
of social functions for members’ benefit.
They certainly struck the right chord
here.
A calendar of planned social events for 2017 can be found in the December newsletter.

Christmas Dinner Dance
On the 10th of December forty-seven club members and friends enjoyed our annual dinner and dance. Temptations did us proud, with well decorated Christmas tables and an excellent traditional meal. The entertainment was first rate, Kevin Ray played tunes from the sixties, seventies and eighties that we all knew and loved. It was enjoyable to see our captains, Paul and Carol relaxed and enjoying themselves, (Note to self, must learn that western dance for next time) A small raffle was held on the night, resulting in £75 being raised for club funds. A special thank you to Zoe Wright for all her hard work before, during and after the event. It was so pleasing to receive members’ comments that this was the best evening that we had for a long time. Kevin Ray will be returning for our entertainment at the Valentines Dance on 11th February 2017 so I Iook
forward to seeing you there.
Esme Clough Chair of Directors

After the draw a list was displayed on the notice board at the club and prizes are ready for collection from the committee room. Thank you to all the members who donated a prize.
