2:07
It's
2:08
great
2:08
fun.
2:08
That's
2:09
what
2:09
it
2:09
really
2:09
is.
2:10
It's
2:11
all
2:11
about
2:11
coming
2:11
down
2:12
and
2:12
having
2:12
fun
2:12
with
2:12
people
2:13
and
2:15
purely
2:15
by
2:15
accident
2:16
I've
2:16
actually
2:16
got
2:16
quite
2:17
good
2:17
at
2:17
it.
2:18
And
2:20
then
2:20
you
2:20
can
2:20
take
2:20
it
2:20
a
2:21
little
2:21
bit
2:21
further
2:21
and
2:22
play
2:23
serious
2:24
county
2:24
competitions.
2:25
To
2:25
qualify
2:26
to
2:26
play
2:26
for
2:26
Middlesex,
2:27
you
2:27
need
2:27
your
2:27
county
2:28
badge
2:29
and
2:30
I
2:30
won
2:30
that
2:30
this
2:30
year
2:31
in
2:31
the
2:31
unbadged
2:32
final.
2:33
So
2:33
I'm
2:33
now
2:34
going
2:34
to
2:34
play
2:35
for
2:35
Middlesex
2:35
on
2:36
September
2:36
2
2:37
against
2:38
I
2:38
can't
2:38
remember
2:39
who.
2:42
That's
2:42
one
2:42
of
2:42
the
2:42
members
2:42
here
2:43
at
2:43
Bishop
2:43
Duppas
2:43
Bowls
2:44
Club.
2:44
And
2:44
as
2:45
I
2:45
discovered,
2:45
there's
2:46
no
2:46
single
2:46
type
2:47
of
2:47
person
2:47
who
2:47
joins.
2:48
Everyone's
2:48
got
2:49
their
2:49
own
2:49
way
2:49
in.
2:50
I
2:50
was
2:50
a
2:50
golfer
2:51
and
2:51
I've
2:51
got
2:52
a
2:52
bad
2:52
back,
2:52
so
2:52
I
2:52
can't
2:53
play
2:53
golf
2:53
anymore.
2:54
So
2:54
I
2:55
was
2:55
looking
2:55
for
2:55
something
2:55
to
2:56
do
2:56
that
2:57
would
2:57
be
2:58
interesting
2:59
in
3:00
the
3:00
summer.
3:00
My
3:00
wife's
3:01
uncle
3:02
was
3:03
the
3:03
best
3:03
player
3:03
in
3:04
Kent,
3:04
so
3:04
we
3:04
were
3:05
always
3:05
being
3:05
sailed
3:06
with
3:06
stories
3:06
of
3:07
playing
3:08
bowls
3:09
and
3:09
how
3:09
good
3:09
it
3:10
was,
3:10
but
3:10
of
3:10
course
3:10
we
3:10
never
3:11
did
3:11
it.
3:12
Fortunately,
3:12
we
3:12
lived
3:13
just
3:13
over
3:13
the
3:13
road,
3:14
so
3:14
we
3:15
came
3:15
down
3:15
one
3:15
day
3:15
and
3:15
give
3:16
it
3:16
a
3:16
go.
3:16
And
3:16
we
3:16
haven't
3:17
regretted
3:17
it.
3:18
Well,
3:19
there's
3:19
no
3:20
side
3:20
here.
3:21
That's
3:21
the
3:21
beauty
3:21
of
3:22
it.
3:22
Anyone
3:23
can
3:23
come
3:23
along
3:24
and
3:24
enjoy
3:25
themselves
3:26
and
3:26
they'll
3:26
always
3:27
be
3:27
made
3:27
welcome.
3:28
So
3:28
that's
3:29
just
3:29
about
3:29
it.
3:30
Well
3:31
it
3:31
is
3:31
a
3:31
very
3:31
friendly
3:32
club
3:32
and
3:32
what
3:32
I
3:32
like
3:32
about
3:33
bowling
3:33
generally
3:34
is
3:35
you
3:35
can
3:35
just
3:35
play
3:36
socially
3:37
or
3:37
be
3:37
very
3:38
competitive
3:39
or
3:39
you
3:39
can
3:39
just
3:40
be
3:40
a
3:40
social
3:40
member
3:40
and
3:41
come
3:41
along,
3:41
see
3:41
what's
3:42
going
3:42
on,
3:42
watch
3:42
the
3:43
game,
3:43
have
3:43
a
3:43
drink
3:44
and
3:44
that.
3:44
It's
3:45
a
3:45
very
3:45
nice
3:45
club
3:46
to
3:46
belong
3:46
to.
3:46
It's
3:47
not
3:47
too
3:47
strenuous
3:49
but
3:49
you
3:49
are
3:49
getting
3:50
exercise.
3:52
Very
3:52
good
3:52
for
3:52
that.
3:53
To
3:53
get
3:53
a
3:54
full
3:54
picture
3:54
of
3:54
what
3:54
the
3:54
club
3:55
is
3:55
all
3:55
about,
3:55
I
3:56
sat
3:56
down
3:56
with
3:56
Paul
3:56
New.
3:57
I've
3:57
been
3:58
a
3:58
member
3:58
about
3:58
five
3:59
years.
4:00
I
4:00
joined
4:00
just
4:00
before
4:01
COVID
4:01
unfortunately,
4:02
and
4:02
then
4:02
we
4:02
had
4:02
that,
4:03
that
4:03
break.
4:04
So
4:04
I'm
4:04
very
4:04
much
4:05
a
4:05
beginner,
4:05
still
4:06
getting
4:06
used
4:06
to
4:07
playing
4:07
the
4:07
game,
4:07
getting
4:08
a
4:08
little
4:08
bit
4:08
better
4:09
as
4:09
years
4:10
go
4:10
on.
4:10
And
4:10
I've
4:11
started
4:11
to
4:11
play
4:11
in
4:11
a
4:12
few
4:12
more
4:12
club
4:13
competitions
4:13
now
4:14
this
4:14
year
4:15
and
4:15
I've
4:15
played
4:15
a
4:15
lot
4:16
of
4:16
friendlies
4:16
against
4:16
other
4:17
clubs
4:18
and
4:18
a
4:18
few
4:19
games
4:19
in
4:20
the
4:20
SML
4:20
League,
4:21
which
4:21
is
4:21
South
4:21
Middlesex
4:22
League.
4:22
Paul
4:23
told
4:23
me
4:23
that
4:23
his
4:24
connection
4:24
to
4:24
bowls
4:25
is
4:25
also
4:25
a
4:25
family
4:26
one.
4:26
It's
4:26
because
4:27
my
4:27
dad
4:27
has
4:27
been
4:27
a
4:28
member
4:28
for
4:28
20
4:28
years
4:29
and
4:29
therefore
4:30
I
4:31
just
4:31
thought
4:31
I
4:31
would
4:32
join
4:32
the
4:32
club
4:33
to
4:33
share
4:34
some
4:34
time
4:34
with
4:34
him
4:35
as
4:35
well
4:35
as
4:36
knowing
4:36
that
4:36
the
4:36
club
4:36
was
4:37
a
4:37
goo
4:37
club.
4:37
And
4:38
the
4:38
facilities
4:38
here
4:39
have
4:39
been
4:39
a
4:39
big
4:40
draw.
4:40
There's
4:40
a
4:40
few
4:41
clubs
4:41
around.
4:41
We're
4:41
fortunate
4:42
to
4:42
have
4:42
a
4:43
clubhouse
4:44
on
4:44
the
4:44
green.
4:45
A
4:45
number
4:45
of
4:45
clubs
4:46
don't,
4:46
but
4:47
we've
4:47
had
4:48
new
4:48
bi
4:48
fold
4:49
doors
4:49
fitted
4:49
about
4:50
18
4:50
months
4:50
ago
4:51
and
4:51
on
4:51
days
4:52
like
4:52
this,
4:52
you
4:52
open
4:53
the
4:53
doors,
4:53
you've
4:53
got
4:54
the
4:54
above
4:55
wonderful
4:55
clubhouse.
4:56
You
4:56
can
4:57
sit
4:57
and,
4:57
yeah,
4:58
enjoy
4:58
the
4:59
day,
4:59
whether
4:59
you're
4:59
bowling
5:00
in
5:00
the
5:00
day
5:00
or
5:00
just
5:01
come
5:02
to
5:02
watch
5:02
a
5:02
game.
5:03
My
5:03
visit
5:03
coincided
5:04
with
5:04
Presidents
5:05
Day,
5:05
one
5:05
of
5:06
the
5:06
highlights
5:06
of
5:06
the
5:06
club
5:07
calendar.
5:08
So
5:08
we
5:08
nominate
5:08
a
5:09
president
5:09
every
5:09
two
5:10
years.
5:10
President
5:11
is
5:11
someone
5:11
that's
5:12
contributed
5:13
to
5:13
the
5:13
club
5:13
over
5:14
the
5:14
years
5:14
and
5:14
has
5:15
made
5:15
a
5:15
good
5:15
contribution.
5:16
And
5:17
then
5:17
the
5:17
president
5:18
runs
5:19
a
5:19
President's
5:20
Day
5:20
with
5:21
his
5:21
family
5:22
and
5:22
all
5:22
the
5:22
helpers.
5:23
He
5:23
coerces
5:24
everyone
5:24
to
5:24
help
5:25
out
5:25
and
5:26
it
5:26
always
5:27
raises
5:27
money
5:27
for
5:28
charity.
5:28
So
5:29
the
5:29
president
5:29
nominates
5:30
his
5:30
own
5:30
charity.
5:32
Previous
5:32
years
5:32
we've
5:33
had
5:33
air
5:33
ambulance
5:34
and
5:34
shooting
5:35
stars.
5:35
This
5:36
year
5:36
he's
5:36
chosen
5:37
Alzheimer's
5:37
uk.
5:38
And
5:38
then
5:38
we
5:39
have
5:39
members
5:39
that
5:39
run
5:40
a
5:40
bottle
5:41
tombola
5:42
which
5:42
the
5:42
members
5:42
contribute
5:43
to.
5:43
We
5:43
have
5:44
a
5:44
raffle,
5:45
we
5:45
have
5:45
other
5:45
fun
5:46
games.
5:46
We
5:46
have
5:47
a
5:47
croquet
5:47
lawn
5:48
as
5:48
well.
5:49
So
5:49
we
5:49
have
5:49
about
5:50
20
5:50
members
5:50
that
5:51
once
5:52
they've
5:52
sort
5:52
of
5:53
decided,
5:54
then,
5:54
you
5:54
know,
5:55
bowling
5:55
is
5:55
enough
5:55
for
5:55
them.
5:56
They
5:56
then
5:57
retire
5:57
from
5:57
bowling
5:58
and
5:58
join
5:58
the
5:58
croquet
5:59
club
5:59
because
5:59
they
5:59
find
5:59
it
6:00
a
6:00
little
6:00
bit
6:00
easier.
6:01
And
6:01
President's
6:02
Day
6:02
is
6:02
all
6:02
about
6:03
fun.
6:03
It's
6:03
a
6:03
fun
6:03
day.
6:04
We
6:04
start
6:04
at
6:05
one.
6:05
We
6:05
have
6:06
a
6:06
fun
6:06
game
6:07
called
6:07
a
6:07
spider,
6:07
where
6:08
you
6:08
bowl
6:09
a
6:09
bowl
6:09
with
6:09
the
6:10
other
6:10
hand,
6:11
you
6:11
put
6:11
a
6:11
pound
6:12
in
6:12
the
6:12
pot
6:12
and
6:13
the
6:13
winner
6:13
gets
6:13
half
6:14
the
6:14
pot
6:14
and
6:14
the
6:14
rest
6:14
of
6:15
the
6:15
money
6:15
goes
6:15
to
6:15
charity.
6:16
Then
6:17
we
6:17
have
6:17
afternoon
6:17
tea,
6:18
we
6:18
have
6:18
a
6:18
bit
6:18
of
6:18
fun
6:18
bowling
6:19
split
6:19
into
6:20
two
6:20
groups,
6:20
fun
6:20
bowling
6:21
either
6:21
side
6:21
of
6:22
afternoon
6:22
tea.
6:23
And
6:23
then
6:23
about
6:23
5.30
6:24
to
6:24
6,
6:25
the
6:25
president
6:25
puts
6:25
on
6:26
a
6:26
buffet
6:26
display,
6:27
which
6:28
most
6:28
of
6:28
his
6:28
family
6:29
and
6:29
members
6:29
contribute
6:30
to
6:31
with
6:32
homemade
6:32
produce
6:33
and
6:33
stuff
6:33
like
6:34
that.
6:34
The
6:34
day
6:35
brings
6:35
members
6:35
together,
6:36
raises
6:36
money
6:36
for
6:37
good
6:37
causes
6:37
and
6:38
showcases
6:38
the
6:39
social
6:39
heart
6:39
of
6:40
the
6:40
club.
6:40
President's
6:41
Day
6:41
is
6:41
always
6:42
well
6:42
supported.
6:43
Everyone
6:43
knows
6:43
it's
6:43
a
6:43
fun
6:44
day
6:44
and
6:44
it's
6:44
for
6:44
charity.
6:45
Therefore
6:45
it's
6:45
the
6:45
best,
6:46
the
6:46
best
6:46
supported
6:46
day
6:47
as
6:47
you.
6:47
Today
6:47
we've
6:48
got
6:48
80,
6:49
90
6:49
members,
6:50
so
6:51
we
6:51
could
6:51
be
6:52
up
6:52
to
6:52
100
6:52
by
6:53
the
6:53
end
6:53
of
6:53
the
6:53
day
6:53
with
6:54
people
6:54
dropping
6:54
in
6:54
and
6:55
just
6:55
joining
6:55
in.
6:56
But
6:56
Bishop
6:57
Duppas
6:57
isn't
6:58
just
6:58
about
6:58
special
6:58
occasions.
6:59
It's
7:00
busy
7:00
every
7:01
week
7:01
of
7:01
the
7:01
season.
7:01
If
7:02
you've
7:02
joined
7:02
the
7:02
club,
7:02
you
7:03
can
7:03
come
7:03
and
7:03
play
7:03
whenever
7:03
you
7:04
want.
7:04
You
7:04
just
7:04
book
7:04
your
7:05
rink,
7:05
come
7:06
down
7:06
and
7:06
play
7:07
free
7:07
of
7:07
charge.
7:07
Once
7:08
you've
7:08
joined
7:08
the
7:08
club,
7:09
then
7:09
you
7:09
can
7:10
play
7:10
as
7:10
much
7:10
as
7:10
you
7:10
like,
7:10
free
7:11
of
7:11
charge,
7:11
every
7:11
day
7:12
of
7:12
the
7:12
week,
7:12
if
7:12
you
7:12
want.
7:13
When
7:13
we've
7:13
got
7:14
games
7:14
against
7:14
other
7:14
clubs,
7:15
sometimes
7:16
we
7:16
use
7:16
all
7:16
six
7:17
rinks.
7:17
Invariably
7:18
it's
7:19
usually
7:19
five
7:19
or
7:20
four
7:20
rinks
7:20
against
7:21
other
7:21
clubs.
7:22
Therefore,
7:22
depending
7:23
upon
7:23
the
7:23
day
7:23
of
7:23
the
7:23
week,
7:24
we'd
7:24
be
7:24
playing
7:24
Ashford
7:25
or
7:25
Stanwell
7:25
in
7:26
different
7:26
leagues.
7:27
There's
7:27
evening
7:28
leagues,
7:28
there's
7:28
a
7:28
Monday
7:29
night
7:29
triples,
7:30
Friday
7:30
evening
7:31
league.
7:31
There's
7:31
games
7:32
during
7:32
the
7:32
week
7:32
and
7:33
at
7:33
weekends.
7:34
So
7:34
if
7:34
you've
7:35
got
7:35
more
7:35
flexibility
7:36
with
7:36
work
7:36
patterns,
7:37
then
7:37
you
7:37
can
7:37
obviously
7:38
get
7:38
involved
7:39
a
7:39
bit
7:39
more.
7:40
I
7:40
would
7:40
say,
7:41
give
7:41
it
7:41
a
7:41
go.
7:42
It
7:42
is
7:42
amazing.
7:42
It's
7:43
not
7:43
cardiovascular
7:44
sport,
7:44
but
7:45
it
7:45
is
7:45
a
7:45
sport
7:45
where,
7:46
you
7:46
know,
7:46
you
7:46
do
7:47
really
7:48
improve
7:48
your
7:48
agility.
7:49
So
7:50
the
7:50
actual
7:50
process
7:50
of
7:51
bowling
7:51
a
7:51
ball
7:52
and
7:52
then
7:52
playing
7:53
a
7:53
two,
7:54
two
7:54
and
7:54
a
7:54
half
7:54
hour
7:55
game
7:55
of
7:55
bowls
7:56
is
7:56
energetic.
7:57
You
7:57
know,
7:57
for
7:57
£120
7:58
a
7:58
year,
7:59
that's
7:59
pretty
7:59
good,
8:00
you
8:00
know,
8:00
so
8:00
tenner
8:01
a
8:01
month.
8:01
Tenner
8:02
a
8:02
month,
8:03
yeah.
8:03
And
8:04
you
8:04
can
8:04
play
8:04
as
8:05
much
8:05
as
8:05
you
8:05
like
8:05
during
8:05
that
8:06
month?
8:06
Yep.
8:07
You
8:07
can
8:07
put
8:07
your
8:08
names
8:08
down
8:08
for
8:09
starting
8:09
to
8:09
play
8:09
in
8:10
the
8:10
friendly
8:10
games
8:10
against
8:11
other
8:11
clubs.
8:12
People
8:12
tend
8:12
to
8:13
build
8:13
up.
8:14
So
8:14
the
8:14
first
8:14
year
8:15
they
8:15
join,
8:16
they
8:16
do
8:16
a
8:17
four
8:17
week
8:18
course.
8:18
We've
8:19
got
8:19
two
8:19
coaches
8:20
at
8:20
the
8:20
moment
8:20
and
8:21
they
8:21
will
8:21
coach
8:21
you
8:22
for
8:22
four
8:22
weeks
8:22
in
8:23
all
8:23
the
8:23
basics
8:23
of
8:23
bowls.
8:24
And
8:24
you,
8:25
you
8:25
know,
8:25
you
8:25
start
8:26
off
8:27
how
8:27
to
8:27
get
8:27
close
8:27
to
8:27
the
8:28
jack
8:28
and
8:28
then
8:28
a
8:28
bit
8:28
of
8:28
strategy
8:29
and
8:29
how
8:29
to
8:30
stand
8:30
on
8:30
the
8:30
mat
8:30
and
8:31
that
8:31
stuff.
8:32
And
8:32
over
8:32
the
8:32
four
8:32
weeks
8:33
you
8:33
then
8:33
become
8:33
a
8:34
reasonable
8:35
bowler.
8:35
Believe
8:35
it
8:35
or
8:35
not,
8:36
four
8:36
weeks
8:36
is
8:36
all
8:37
it
8:37
takes
8:37
to
8:38
get
8:38
you
8:38
going.
8:39
We've
8:39
got
8:39
about
8:39
120
8:40
members,
8:41
we've
8:41
got
8:41
20
8:42
or
8:42
so
8:43
croquet
8:43
members.
8:44
We've
8:44
got
8:45
about
8:45
60
8:45
members
8:46
that
8:46
play
8:46
on
8:46
a
8:46
regular
8:47
basis
8:48
and
8:48
against
8:48
other
8:49
clubs.
8:50
Some
8:50
members
8:50
will
8:50
only
8:51
play
8:51
in
8:51
internal
8:52
competitions
8:53
and
8:53
then
8:53
some
8:53
members
8:54
will
8:54
only
8:54
play
8:55
socially
8:55
in
8:55
a
8:55
roll
8:56
up
8:56
on
8:56
a
8:56
Thursday.
8:57
And
8:57
for
8:57
Paul,
8:57
bowls
8:58
has
8:58
been
8:58
as
8:59
much
8:59
about
8:59
well
8:59
being
9:00
as
9:00
it
9:00
is
9:00
about
9:01
the
9:01
game
9:01
itself.
9:02
We've
9:02
got
9:02
a
9:02
great
9:02
social
9:03
atmosphere
9:04
here.
9:04
We
9:04
concentrate
9:05
on
9:05
bowling
9:05
during
9:05
the
9:06
summer
9:06
months
9:06
from
9:06
April
9:07
through
9:07
to
9:07
September.
9:08
This
9:09
year
9:09
we've
9:09
decided
9:09
to
9:10
extend
9:10
the
9:10
green
9:10
till
9:11
the
9:11
end
9:11
of
9:11
October
9:12
purely
9:12
because
9:12
the
9:13
seasons
9:13
are
9:14
shifting
9:14
and
9:15
October
9:15
has
9:16
been
9:16
a
9:16
very
9:16
good
9:16
dry
9:17
month.
9:17
So
9:17
we're
9:17
going
9:17
to
9:18
open
9:18
the
9:18
green
9:19
between
9:19
11
9:20
and
9:20
4pm
9:21
just
9:22
during
9:22
October,
9:22
which
9:23
has
9:23
never
9:23
been
9:23
done
9:23
before
9:24
in
9:24
the
9:24
40,
9:25
50
9:25
years
9:25
of
9:25
the
9:25
club.
9:26
And
9:26
then
9:27
when
9:27
we
9:27
close
9:27
the
9:27
bowls
9:28
green,
9:28
then
9:29
we
9:29
have
9:30
other
9:30
clubs
9:31
that
9:31
start
9:32
up
9:32
for
9:32
the
9:32
winter
9:33
period.
9:33
So
9:33
we
9:33
have
9:33
canasta,
9:34
bridge,
9:35
cribbage
9:37
and
9:37
then
9:38
we
9:38
have
9:38
social
9:38
events
9:39
once
9:39
a
9:39
month
9:39
on
9:39
a
9:40
Tuesday
9:40
evening
9:41
like
9:41
bingo,
9:42
quiz
9:42
nights
9:43
and
9:43
things
9:43
like
9:43
that.
9:43
So
9:44
members
9:44
can
9:44
still
9:45
get
9:45
together
9:45
during
9:46
the
9:46
winter
9:46
season,
9:47
during
9:47
the
9:47
day
9:47
to
9:48
play
9:48
different
9:48
games.
9:49
So
9:49
whether
9:49
you're
9:49
after
9:50
competition,
9:51
company
9:51
or
9:52
just
9:52
a
9:52
new
9:52
way
9:52
to
9:53
keep
9:53
active,
9:53
Bishop
9:54
Duppas

10:02
We've
10:02
got
10:02
a
10:02
good
10:02

10:03
There's
10:04
an
10:04
amount
10:05
of
10:05

10:05

10:06
that's
10:06
easily

10:15
you'll
10:15
find
10:16
details
10:16
about
10:17
the
10:17
club
10:17
on
10:17
there
10:17
and
10:18
some
10:18
bits
10:18
about
10:18
the
10:18
history.
10:19
So
10:20
Bishop
10:21
Duppas
10:21
was
10:21
a
10:21
real
10:21
bishop
10:22
in
10:22
Shepperton
10:23
and
10:24
the
10:24
history's
10:25
on
10:25
there.
10:25
I'll
10:25
let
10:26
you
10:26
read
10:26
it.
10:26
To
10:27
quote
10:28
the
10:28
official
10:29
line,
10:29
but
10:29
my
10:30
understanding
10:30
is
10:30
he
10:30
was
10:31
a
10:31
bishop
10:31
that
10:31
dedicated
10:32
this
10:32
land
10:33
and
10:33
therefore
10:34
can
10:34
only
10:34
be
10:34
used
10:34
for
10:35
social
10:35
activity.
11:59
Thanks
11:59
to
11:59
Paul
11:59
New
12:00
there.
12:00
It
12:01
seems
12:01
to
12:01
me
12:01
that
12:01
Bishop
12:02
Duppas
12:02
Bowls
12:03
Club
12:03
is
12:03
as
12:03
much
12:04
about
12:04
community
12:05
as
12:05
it
12:05
is
12:05
about
12:05
exercise
12:06
and
12:06
competition.
12:07
So
12:07
let's
12:08
round
12:08
things
12:08
off
12:08
with
12:09
some
12:09
more
12:09
members.
12:10
You're
12:10
John,
12:10
you're
12:11
the
12:11
men's
12:11
captain.
12:12
Tell
12:12
me
12:12
what
12:13
that
12:13
involves.
12:14
It's
12:14
mainly
12:15
about
12:15
the
12:16
administrators
12:17
of
12:17
all
12:17
the
12:17
matches.
12:18
We
12:19
play
12:19
a
12:20
good
12:20
mix
12:20
of
12:21
friendly
12:22
matches
12:22
against
12:23
local
12:23
clubs
12:23
and
12:24
we
12:24
compete
12:25
in
12:25
a
12:25
number
12:26
of
12:26
leagues.
12:27
Well,
12:27
I
12:28
started
12:28
in
12:28
19th,
12:33
1997,
12:37
I
12:38
played
12:38
at
12:38
Fordbridge
12:39
park
12:40
and
12:41
I
12:41
was
12:41
with
12:41
Blue
12:42
Flame.
12:43
And
12:43
then
12:43
when
12:44
we
12:44
folded,
12:45
Wendy
12:46
then
12:46
was
12:46
a
12:46
present
12:47
here
12:47
and
12:47
she
12:47
said,
12:48
would
12:48
you
12:48
like
12:48
to
12:48
come
12:48
and
12:49
join
12:49
Bishop
12:49
Duppas?
12:50
That
12:50
was
12:50
2011.
12:52
Didn't
12:52
like
12:52
the
12:52
club,
12:53
but
12:53
here
12:54
I
12:54
am,
12:54
I'm
12:54
still
12:54
here.
12:57
Must
12:57
like
12:57
it
12:57
a
12:57
little
12:57
bit.
12:58
Yes.
12:58
So
12:58
then
12:59
I
12:59
was
12:59
nominated
13:00
to
13:00
be
13:00
ladies
13:01
captain
13:01
this
13:02
year
13:02
and
13:03
I've
13:03
really
13:03
enjoyed
13:03
it
13:04
and
13:04
I've
13:04
enjoyed
13:05
meeting
13:05
everybody
13:06
and
13:06
especially
13:06
Anne.
13:07
She's
13:08
been.
13:08
Been
13:09
on
13:10
my
13:10
team
13:10
and
13:11
yeah,
13:11
it's
13:11
very
13:11
lovely
13:12
and
13:12
everybody's
13:13
so
13:13
friendly
13:14
and
13:14
sociable,
13:15
so
13:15
it's
13:15
a
13:15
lovely
13:16
club
13:16
to
13:16
join.
13:17
I
13:17
joined
13:17
here
13:17
in
13:18
21
13:19
and
13:20
before
13:20
that
13:20
I
13:21
was
13:21
at
13:21
Strawberry
13:21
Hill.
13:22
I
13:22
played
13:22
at
13:23
Strawberry
13:23
Hill,
13:24
but
13:24
I
13:25
was
13:25
captain
13:25
at
13:26
Strawberry
13:26
Hill
13:26
and
13:26
I
13:27
wanted
13:27
to
13:27
just
13:27
concentrate
13:28
on
13:28
bowling.
13:30
I
13:30
knew
13:30
this
13:31
club
13:31
because
13:31
we
13:32
had
13:32
fixtures
13:32
at
13:32
Strawberry
13:33
Hill,
13:34
so
13:34
I
13:34
made
13:34
a
13:34
decision
13:34
in
13:35
2021
13:36
to
13:36
come
13:36
here.
13:37
You
13:37
know,
13:37
there's
13:37
a
13:37
lot
13:38
of
13:38
friendlies
13:39
and
13:41
various
13:41
different
13:41
matches.
13:42
North
13:42
West
13:42
Surrey,
13:43
they
13:43
do
13:44
a
13:44
lot
13:45
for
13:45
all
13:45
different
13:46
bowlers.
13:47
Whatever
13:47
you
13:47
want
13:48
to
13:48
do,
13:48
you
13:48
know,
13:48
if
13:48
you
13:49
want
13:49
to
13:49
play
13:50
competitions,
13:51
you
13:51
can
13:51
do
13:51
that.
13:52
If
13:52
you
13:52
want
13:52
to
13:53
play
13:53
for
13:53
Middlesex.
13:55
Nationals,
13:56
Middlesex
13:56
competitions,
13:58
please
13:58
join
13:59
Bishop
14:00
Duppas
14:00
Bowls
14:00
Club.
14:01
We
14:01
are
14:02
a
14:02
very,
14:02
very
14:02
friendly
14:03
club
14:04
and
14:04
we
14:04
welcome
14:05
all
14:05
ages.
14:06
It's
14:07
not
14:07
the
14:07
myth,
14:07
it's
14:08
only
14:08
for
14:08
old
14:08
people.
14:16
What's
14:17
going
14:17
on
14:18
in
14:18
Shepperton?
14:20
Sponsored
14:21

14:22
Ok.
14:23
With
14:23
the
14:24
slight
14:24
tweak
14:24

14:24
the
14:25

14:25
I'll

I

if
15:32
you
15:33
would
15:33
like
15:33
more
15:33
dates
15:34
in
15:34
your
15:35

15:35
as
15:36
well
15:36
as
15:36
the
15:36
odd
15:36
history
15:37
nugget
15:37
about
15:37
Shepperton,
15:38
just
15:38
go
15:39
to
15:39
thesheppertonian.uk
15:41
to
15:41
subscribe
15:42
to
15:42
the
15:42
newsletter
15:43
Hear
15:44
this
15:44
the
15:45
Sheppertonian
15:46
Shout
15:46
out
15:48
so
15:48
here's
15:48
a
15:49
written
15:49
shout
15:50
out
15:50
from
15:50
Kim
15:50
Penfold
15:51
who
15:52
writes
15:52
Ray
15:53
Thorne
15:53
and
15:53
the
15:53
other
15:53
volunteers
15:54
that
15:54
plant
15:55
flowers
15:55
across
15:55
the
15:56
village
15:56
and
15:56
maintain
15:57
them.
15:57
An
15:58
example
15:58
of
15:58
this
15:58
is
15:59
the
15:59
rowing
15:59
boat
15:59
near
15:59
the
16:00
Three
16:00
Horseshoes
16:00
and
16:01
the
16:01
War
16:01
Memorial.
16:02
That
16:02
really
16:02
is
16:03
a
16:03
lovely
16:03
feature
16:03
of
16:03
the
16:04
High
16:04
street,
16:04
isn't
16:04
it?
16:05
Another
16:05
group
16:05
of
16:05
volunteers,
16:06
Chantal
16:07
Mitchell
16:07
and
16:07
co,
16:08
that
16:08
arrange
16:08
the
16:08
Big
16:08
Tree
16:09
Night.
16:10
It
16:10
would
16:10
be
16:10
great
16:10
to
16:10
hear
16:11
from
16:11
them
16:11
on
16:11
the
16:11
podcast
16:12
so
16:12
they
16:12
can
16:12
also
16:13
drum
16:13
up
16:13
more
16:13
more
16:14
people
16:14
to
16:14
help.
16:14
It
16:14
would
16:15
certainly
16:15
get
16:15
people
16:15
understanding
16:16
what
16:16
it
16:16
takes
16:17
to
16:17
arrange
16:17
a
16:17
night
16:17
like
16:18
that.
16:18
I
16:18
had
16:19
to
16:19
reply
16:19
to
16:19
Kim
16:20
saying
16:20
your
16:21
wish
16:21
is
16:21
granted.
16:22
Chantal
16:22
