Ranking up

After last year's debacle at the Annual Chamber of Commerce Bowling Competition (see last year's blog http://ggsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/oh-ignominy.html) Team GGS were determined to improve their ranking. Not difficult, you would imagine, if you knew that we came 20th out of 20 (not sure of the exact numbers, but it was something like that). We had a great time though, did a bit of socializing, eating and drinking and a lot of saying things like, "it's not the winning that's important: it's the taking part", etc.

So, this year, after doing lots of training during the last 12 months, we were confident that we could improve our position (I may have lied a bit about the training) and hold our heads high, safe in the knowledge that some other unfortunates would be receiving the 'Losers' certificates.

Anyway, after a shaky start the Strikes and Spares started to rack up and at the end of the evening when the placings were announced we were no longer 20th... weren't even even down in the high teens. In fact we had moved out of the double figures and into the singles...we were 7th! Yes... 7th! Hoorah!! Quite a step up I'm sure you would agree.

Unfortunately the event wasn't quite as well attended as it was last year; but if anyone tries to tell you there were only 7 teams participating THEY WERE LYING... OK!!!
