Hi Trevor - Must get my Thinking cap on - Have heard of Crystal Meths but not Mark- Most of Bowls was by word of Mouth or a Warning by Persons - unmentioned -who Said - you are doing this wrong !! - little or No advice on what was right - just tried to enjoy - Roll on Summer. Will try & dig out Rule Books among my Hoardings of last 50 years - have a little time - will be at it later today .

Hi Trevor - Weekend off in the sunshine- Mondays News no better - but Found - World Bowls Board - Laws of the Game 1999/2000- plus several photocopies of The Language of the Game - which may/may not ever be read. Real interest is (published 2010) of M/Head in Feb 1970 -" Queen St is Dying " -blamed on New town Centre & Lack of Parking . Also lack of affordable Housing . Whats New . Last Weeks Advertiser had a High St photo of dead Town - They put Pound Land in the centre - Can say Last week This is the One Shop still alive at Top End - then Barclays & Wilkos -flying the flag . Also read recently "The Landing was due to start 2015 and up & running 2020. Will it ever get started ?? - millions squandered on consultations from mid 80s .Well all for now.

Bill,

According to the World Bowls site, the laws are reviewed every four years, synchronised with the running of the Commonwealth Games. This is known as the Crystal Mark edition. If there are no changes, then that cycle is simply skipped, as has happened several times. To cater for cultural and geographic differences, WBA allow each member nation to publish their own set of laws every two years.

On a wry note, observe that you can download the WBA rule book as a PDF for free, whereas you have to buy Bowls England's version.
