Hi! Kelsey, Thank you so much for comprehensive response to my question! Cheers! William



Kelsey,
You might be interested in message I just posted on Samantha's Message Board. Must be Fit4Bowls programs had a part to play in energy level today. Our rink won 31-18, other 2 went down 1 and 2. Have to beat Merrylands next week in last round to make Finals. Possible as we beat Hunters Hill 3-2 today and they beat Merrylands 5-0 last week. A 4-1 win for us will be no good unless we win by 33+. All the best Fred

Hey there KC, "Some freaks on this or what" ? dont no whats freakier - people trying to tell one of OZ's best women bowlers how to "master conditions" or the fact that there semi obsesive !!!!

have you got your own personal email address Kelsey I guess if you do you probably don't give it out to people for security and privacy reasons butb just thought I would enquire I sent you a lot of messages today Kelsey I like talking to my favourite people online all the time I am addicted to it LOL LOL
Focus on this weekend Kelsey just play really positive bowls and when you play bowls during the week before TV games on Saturday's don't let other results during the week be a distraction to you let the results take care of themselves.
each match you play kelsey is different up's and down's tthat is the sport by the looks of things that is how the sport is opearating by it's own standards

Hi Kelsey, Congratulations on your AO win!!! My two boys (10 and 12 yo) and I were watching live in the stands and you are a fantastic inspiration to my young bowlers. Thank you also for happily signing autographs for them. We look forward to seeing more fantastic bowling from you in the future. Jus


Congratulatoins Kelsey on a great win, i hope that you can take victory all the way the world titles, once again well done.

What an inspiration you are to all young bowlersl Congratulations! When you finally come down off Cloud Nine we would all love to read your own version of how you were feeling during those really tense matches when it seemed like it (the title) might escape your grip again.

Hi Kelsey
I am a big fan and would like to play a game against at some point in time. You are one of my favourite players and I wish you well in the future. I would like you to teach me some tips if you can. I am 14 years old and have been playing since I was ten. I have now broken my way into our top division in Port Germein. I have been playing there all year and would like to eventually play for Australia like you have.
Hope you write back. Catchya Later!!!!

Good luck in the AO, and when you have time, log onto my site and have a look at what I have to say about the state of lawn bowls in the State of NSW. It's pretty controversial stuff designed to upset the "traditionalists" who cannot see the urgent need for change to reverse the downward spiral in bowler numbers, and the continual demise of bowling clubs all across the State.
Hi Kelsey you probably don't know me Hi I'm Grant Tarrant from the Coonabarabran bowling club. I play bowls for the club at a competitive level and I lo0ve the sport I am already one of the leading juniors at the club at age 21. I have watched you on TV playing bowls Kelsey you have not played on Tv for about three seasons now when will you appear again on the ABC on Saturday afternoons Kelsey? I look forward to seeing you play on TV this season in 2009 Look forward to hearing from you soon my email address is granttarrant@hotmail.com

HI kelsey, Just a message from Maurice Curtin the inventor of Protractor Mats congratulations on your recent wins and appointments just to help you celebrate I am offering you a gift and if you find it successful I would like you to enlighten bowlers worldwide .It is my latest creation mat called KC 15 .KC is obvious and 15 stands for the colour coded 15 degree lines on which are holes where you insert a 15 degree duplex protractor attachment enabling to bowl 0 to 30 degrees using your 2 shoe marks. It is actually an extention on my mat BQ 1 on my home page .Like all gifts conditions apply .The only condition apply you must collect from my residence , you find my address and phone number on My Sports Home Page at the bottom of the instructions of The Protractor Mat .i don't have any printed instructions so I am relying on you to preach the gospel .Talk it over with your mother and good luck. it is only a working protype and is the only one in captivityRegards Maurice Curtin.

hi Kelsey .I thank you for your message to become a friend Suggest you visit My Home Page and where it states Protractor Mat and Comments and View All , Just View All and all the TEXT will be revealed .Comments welcomed. In the meantime keep up the studies ,only 2 months to go .If I had influence your first job would be visiting schools Australia wide and teaching pupils of all ages how to bowls using this mat and to be a role model . I have more to offer and it is just non accecptance holing me back .Regards Morrie Curtin


Hi Kelsey,
My name is Rose and I have two daughters Connie-Leigh and Rebecca who both bowl. Connie-Leigh is 11 and Rebecca is 7. We are members of Maroochy Swan and they have coaching once a week with Ian Coombes. Just wondered if you had any advice for my girls, especially Connie who has just started competing and is feeling a little intimidated by the older teenages she is competing against.
Cheers
Rose Rixon
