Forth Bowling Club: More Forth People

More of the important people at Forth B.C.

Three cheers for the rules of bowls,
That keep our games serene?
And the expert who enforces them- on
An English bowling green.

Thanks to the unsung handyman,
With hammer and saw supreme,
Who stops our world collapsing- on
An English bowling green.

"The Bowler's Song"

Rules-Expert: Trevor ("the Hat") Baxter

Trevor's interpretation of the rules proves to be unpopular!

Trevor, a former Club Chairman and President, is a qualified national bowling umpire and our current leading expert on the rules of the game.

He is:

an irrepressible Irishman;
a good bowler (ten-pin?);
a gifter photographer and artist;
a raconteur par excellence; and altogether
a mainstay of the Club.

By the way, the hat is made from beaver-skin and comes from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

(P.S. Trevor is posing beside the "bowls in the wall" at Seahouses BC.
Although sometimes tempted, we don't really throw bowls at him!)

Our Handyman: George ("Mr Fixit") Roberts

George raises the Forth flag

George is one of our five ex-sea-going engineers. He somehow manages to deal with the club's maintenance problems before they actually happen!

It was George who installed our first watering system and it was he who was responsible for erecting our flagpole. He is a one-man dynamo: forever painting, sawing and hammering. In short: if it's broken, he'll mend it; if it's not broken, he'll improve it!

And now, in addition to fixing and maintaining everything in sight, George has taken on the job of Club Treasurer!

He is married to Evelyn, one of our "ladies who cater".
