Wednesday August 4

New leaders on the circuit emerge. That dynamic duo of Larry McLellan and Jurgen Fessler jump to the fore with one or the other being in the top three of 5 of the 6 tournaments played.

Jurgen gets the HP ' King Of The Hill' title for the week edging Larry by 2 points.

Wednesday July 7

Adding the Dr. Krupp Men's Pairs to the event list. A dandy tournament that has attracted a strong field for years. The winners get their names on one of the most beautiful trophies still in active use.

It appears the secret to winning on the circuit is having Bill Baxter as your lead.


The twelve stop 2010 season opened on Wednesday May 26th with 12 teams in action at the St. Marys LBC.
Mainly a Wednesday fixture, the clubs in these counties have held fast in continuing a men's event that is gender constrained. 
The boys are back and they drive some distance to try to stand tall at the end of the day.
By golly Remi Canuel and Peter Clarke wandered in from the Burlington area. Bob and Mike Bester dropped down from Hanover. Wayne Wright of Grand Bend and Joe Dorsch of Kitchener didn't mind the hottest day of the year, in fact hotter than any day we had last summer. Felt good.
And a slew of good ol' boys from London town and the locals including Len Boreham and Colin Campbell who were not only willing to pay to play but paid more pay to the victors of the day.


Perhaps this 'league' is in deference to the days of yore when the shops closed on Wednesday afternoon and the men had time for a leisurely roll up. I don't know the history but I will ask David Bell, my partner for the day. He can remember every bowl from every game that he played since he started some 27 years ago and significant shots that I made in games that I don't remember playing. On second thought it isn't that much of an accomplishment to remember my notable efforts. In any case if you ever have a query about bowling history, check with David.


By secret ballet, I was appointed commissioner of THE H/P CIRCUIT. No pay, no authority

The 2010 Schedule

June 2 Exeter RAIN

June 9 Seaforth RAIN

June 16 Exeter

June 23 Thamesford 
July 7 Woodstock
July 28 Clinton

August 4 Exeter

Tuesday August 10 St. Marys

Tuesday August 24 St. Marys

September 1 Exeter

Thursday September 9 St. Marys

September 15 Mitchell

September 22 Seaforth

This is a 14 stop tour centered in Exeter and St. Marys with Seaforth kind of opening but definitely closing the season and a dash of Thamesford and Clinton and a sprinkle of Mitchell.

Every week points will be allotted to the top teams based on the number of teams entered.

If 12 teams 1st = 12; 2nd = 10; 3rd = 8 

If 14 teams 1st = 14; 2nd = 12; 3rd = 10; 4th = 8

If 16 teams 1st = 16; 2nd = 14; 3rd = 12; 4th = 10
If 18 teams & Up 1st= 18; 2nd = 16; 3rd = 14; 4th = 12; 5th = 10

Any different number of entries, I will figure it out --- secretly.

Players will win points as a team but the scoring standings will be by individual.

This is a Wednesday gathering of good bowls and good fun. Nothing wrong with it but rarely do you see the same combinations from week to week.

We are just glad to have Wednesday afternoon off when we toil so hard the rest of the week.

James is going to talk to his dad Larry and see if he will put up $1000 for the season winner.

I don't know why he wouldn't agree. It appears it would simply be putting money from one pocket to the other.!
