What are the essential features of the club's longstanding Night Owls program?
The 130 photos attached go some way towards answering this big question, but let's start with some insights in the four photos in the feature collage:
Top left, Bob Rutten, who looks so polished when he steps out in his formal pennant outfit, at Night Owls he throws his arms in the air in a triumphal gesture, simply because he had a "toucher". A grown man losing it.
Top right, Fiona Mansfield, who is always so demure in pennant matches, demonstrates her new technique as a Night Owls skip, standing on one foot while giving the two-thumbs-up signal.
Bottom left, Bronwyn Perry, who has tried hard to hide her inner joker in recent pennant games, demonstrates her impressive fist-pumping ability, at the change of ends.
Bottom right, Matt Welsby, a most serious expert in health, welfare and safety, is overcome with love and joy in the middle of the green.
The other 126 photos capture yet other features of Night Owls, including:
how to stand at the head with the other bowlers on your rink, ready to hoot and holler when your skip delivers a killer bowl
how to hold a stubby or glass of wine, while not spilling any of its contents, while undertaking inconvenient duties like measuring close ones
how to wear clothing that you'd never be seen dead in at the supermarket
how to give as good as you get when you interact with a Blue Shirt
how to bowl with serious intent but then pretend, between bowls, to be friendly socialisers with your opposition.
