Perth - Bowls

Team Building Exercises. aka Organised Piss-Ups.

Bowls is the go for this sort of thing; the club-house usually has a bar, slugs like me don't have to put much effort into it, and there's a barbie...

It can be a bit like herding cats. You think you have all the balls you need and then someone chucks one up the other end.

There is a lot of milling around with a beer while other people do things.

...and then, when they've eaten your brains, they do this.

Given enough thought and contemplation, you can occasionally keep the ball on the grass.

If you don't look at the balls, the shot you thought was going horribly wrong, suddenly goes perfectly right.

It's a bit like ten-pin bowling except they can't afford the machine that brings the balls back.

Another pesky ball has gotten away.

As a male, I was entrusted with the meat-burning for a while. Dave (behind the camera) suggested that, next time, I should do something to hide my beer-belly but when you've spent as much as I have on it...
