My local club has a few youngsters but because of work they only play at weekends.<br /><br />I still think funding some to the tune of £500+ a year and not funding others at all is unfair. A fixed subsidy should be given to all clubs.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-53452105941421382062011-03-12T15:27:47.371+00:002011-03-12T15:27:47.371+00:00C'mon, lets have a bit of charity.

And just because we're stupid enough to go along with the austerity scam surely we have no need to add to theirs?Crinkly & Ragged Arsed Philosophershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902364411241935656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-35061378298168507902011-03-12T13:02:01.545+00:002011-03-12T13:02:01.545+00:00I don't have an 'eye' for a ball I was...I don't have an 'eye' for a ball I was told Demetrius. A polite way of saying my co-ordination is dreadful. Overarm? Tut tut that's cheating. :)<br /><br />It is pleasant to go past the bowling club on a summer's day and perhaps watch a little of a game in progress. What would happen here if the club disbanded would be a developer buying the ground. In fact there would be a long queue as it's in a prime location.<br /><br />Perhaps the answer is that all clubs receive a small subsidy and not have this variation where some manage to be self-sufficient and others totally reliant on taxpayers.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-49202058882557022462011-03-12T12:57:12.891+00:002011-03-12T12:57:12.891+00:00Joe, I'm sure you know the answer to that one....Joe, I'm sure you know the answer to that one. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-33505270059833998552011-03-12T12:27:07.398+00:002011-03-12T12:27:07.398+00:00The only time I tried bowling I was ordered off. ...The only time I tried bowling I was ordered off. It seemed that overarm bowling was not allowed. It is an interesting question, should a decent pastime that adds a touch of grace and colour to the local parks be subsidised as private clubs? I recall playing cricket on council pitches, a whole five division league depended on this.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-25889576430585528962011-03-12T10:46:09.911+00:002011-03-12T10:46:09.911+00:00So when the Bowlers do take over & pay for the...So when the Bowlers do take over & pay for the facilities they use, presumably ALL other ratepayers will receive a reduction in their rates?<br /><br />[Or, will the council still spend the same amount of other-peoples-money, but on other things?]Joe Publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829909061904690380noreply@blogger.com
