Well I haven’t posted since the Balcomb last year! What a year it was, so close to being incredible on the bowling green! But none the less, I am always proud to wear my county and club colours and represent both, and was awesome to be able to go to leamington national finals with both, getting to the semis in the club two fours and the Middleton cup. Even more special doing it with friends and family! Looking forward to seeing what happens this summer! Even had some success indoors, I took on the team manager role at Chawton Park IBC, and I am always looking at how I can help others improve to achieve and fill their potential. We came runners up in the county league, but what made me really proud was that I was using the county league to try out players who want to represent the club and take the next step with there competitive bowls, I used 42 players across those games and was very pleased to finish runners up, I am already looking forward to seeing the guys go and win it next season. On a personal front, was awesome to win my first indoor county title in Hampshire with Gary, Reece and super sub Ash! I love our sport of bowls, I am very lucky I have always been around awesome people, and it’s these people that keeps me wanting more! by @shillythetank

A great show in memory of our friend Adam. Massive thanks to all the guys who wrestled, entertained us and made a life long memory for Adam’s family who were there to watch and present the Foley Invitational Trophy to the winner of the event.
Thanks to all involved @wrestlecarnival Adam was watching and enjoyed that show today! by @shillythetank

Hello Folkestone! Been a few years since playing down in the top ten weekend. Decided to do some exploring to shake the cobwebs away. Lovely bit of regeneration in the area and a buzzing area down on the seafront by the old harbour. Superb food and some very quirky pop up shops and converted shopping containers. Also a brilliant free open air cinema area with food from all around the world and plenty of alcoholic choices to boot. by @shillythetank

Good start in the Denny today, first competitive game of the season for me and a decent win against a good Desborough side. by @shillythetank

Nice little evening at the Surrey Heath Sports Awards 2023 #SHSA2023 And a win in the Team of the year category for little old Camberley BC, Our Senior four national champions accepted the award on behalf of the club.
For the sponsor photo they wanted this sexy Mofo in the picture 🙈😆
An awesome achievement for the club I love and will always be close to my heart.
But, I have made the difficult decision that I am leaving at a time the club has probably had its most successful year on the greens, seeing friends and club mates with there improvements and successes and being a part of that over the last several years has been amazing. I will miss you all, but I have to leave to try and better myself through new challenges, proving myself to new club mates and competitions which I can enter again with the better scheduling they have. by @shillythetank
