Bowling Green

The development team spent the last two days locked up in a room coming up with new strategic initiatives to improve our processes at work. The structure of the team has been rejigged considerably and hopefully this will give us clearer goals and responsibilities within the department. From a personal perspective I'm looking forward to getting a chance to work on longer term projects and moving away from user support.

After the boring stuff was over and done with we drove down to Myrther bowls club for a fun day in the sun. Most of us made it there without too many hassles... most of us (glances at Matt).

This was the first time I'd every tried lawn bowling and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. Getting the bowls close to the Jack without hitting the gutter or heck even staying in lane would prove tricky though, props to all the old geezers that make it look easy.

Of course some of us in the team had a little more experience than others. Great form there by Uncle Dom.



My moment of glory was hitting the Jack and rolling it along to a cluster of our balls before coming to rest right on it. Much chuffness inspite of the fact that luck was the largest contributing factor.



In the end beginner's luck won the day for us. Well done to fellow team mates Jason and Sarah on flogging the competition.
