  11. Thinking about it, the bowling was an accidental #LocalManufacturing story.

    Vinny, one of our group, works at Drakes here in Liverpool - one of three manufacturers in the world of those bowling balls; and the resin used to make them is only made in *one* place in the world, which is in St. Helens.

    Both those locations plus the place we were playing lie within an 8 mile radius.
