Definition of...
bumps
Of course, they are supposed to be dead level. Local knowledge is knowing all the little alpine sections of the track, all the little hollows.
Nothing like a few bumps to bring a visiting champion down to earth!

Deer oh deer
Clubs are always looking at ways to attract new members. We're not sure Silverstream Bowling Club (in the Hutt Valley)had deer in mind when this one decided to check out the club! The Club has recently been having problems with deer coming down from the hills and onto the green.
