Lifeball continues to grow ... and to look for more converts!

22/9/2017

 
Lifeball continues to grow....this past Monday, we had 20 players. We have one new player, Judy, who is really keen, and another possibility, a friend of Marie. Tonight I had a phone call from another prospective player, who intends to call in to see how we play our beaut game. You should do it as well.......

At the end of August, we held an umpire's training and refreshing umpire's day, and as a result, we now have 6 prospective new umpires, who can assist with our games each week. It was a most successful day, culminating with 4 different soups and fresh bread for lunch. Well earned!!

On October 25, we have been invited to Rutherglen for their Fun Day - numbers unknown as I write, but I hope we may have 6 others to accompany Rupert, Anne and me, for yet another great Lifeball day.

With our new umpires, our game takes on a new aspect, as they find their feet, and put their new-found skills into practice. And we all try to help, some at the most inappropriate times......we have to get used to them as well!!!

As others come to investigate our game, why don't you come and investigate us as well? Who knows, you may be another convert!!
