Pauline 's Adventures

Our International Technical Officer, Pauline Seaton, continues to get amazing response on our Facebook page with over 13.1k views and 9.5k unique viewers on this one post.

Pauline flew to Melbourne as part of a team of World Bowls Umpires to officiate at the Indoor World Bowls Championships held 12 to 16 May.

"I had a wonderful time in Melbourne at the World Bowls Indoor Champs - these events remind me why I love being an Umpire. You meet some amazing people from all walks of life and talk to players who are so passionate about bowls. I really love talking to players from emerging countries who often don't have greens - Namibia for example have manufactured a green from fishing nets spread over a paddock. Others have mats in a school gymnasium or corridor. They work around the school curriculum for practise/playing time.

I believe that my role is to help players get as much enjoyment from the game as they possibly can. When games are fair for everyone you can walk off the green knowing, that at the end of the day, the best team won."
