Oh, the ignominy!


The GGS team didn't exactly perform well at Thursday's Chamber of Commerce Networking/Bowling event at NUMBERten BOWL in Bowthorpe. The pins at the end of Lane 19 were relatively untroubled by advancing bowling balls and on the whole managed to remain in an upright position for a large portion of the game. As a result Team GGS were placed fairly low down on the leaderboard. At the bottom in fact. Yes; we came LAST!! Clearly every one else at the event cheated by using skill, manual dexterity, hand/eye co-ordination etc. which gave them an unfair advantage. (Some even used a cunning device which barricaded the gutters!) No sour grapes there then...
Thanks go to Peter Treglown of FOUR for stepping into the bowling shoes vacated by Peter Griffin. I suspect that our overall score would have been even lower than it actually was (hard to imagine, I know) if our Peter, whose sporting prowess is measured in minus figures, had managed to make it. We apologise unreservedly for letting him down with a performance the likes of which have not been seen since... the last time we were there.
Despite all team members being presented with a 'Losers' certificate we had a great time and are determined to improve for next time... when we expect to come second from last at the very least. Clearly we had better stick to our day jobs (which we are much better at - honest).
