This week saw Calgary hosting the 2015 Blind Lawn Bowling Nationals and Blue Circle, and the Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club, were pleased to be a part of it by sending volunteers to help out.
We acted as Markers for several of the games and not only did we enjoy ourselves and meet some very nice people, we learned a few things too.
Of course, we knew that sight impaired people have many admirable skills and attributes but we were very impressed with just how well these competitors played and how well they demonstrated some of the finer points of the game, plus some excellent sportsmanship.
It certainly made me a lot more conscious of my own game and what can be done to be a better bowler, and perhaps this might be used as my own league fast approaches the end of the season and the Championships on September 13th.
