Bowlers are keen?

I seem to be becoming a bit of a grouch.
On Saturday night around 11 o'clock the local brain dead decided to throw a couple of hundred stones onto the green, the much trumpeted CCTV was as much use as a chocolate tea pot as the floodlights don't work. The only way I know it was around that time is because the camera was focused on a streetlight and jumped out of line at 11 o'clock. This would be when the litter bin was thrown at the pole and it knocked all three cameras out of focus. If I had realised they were so delicate I think we may well have had second thoughts about them, £15,000 seems a lot for what we have so far seen.
So, on to the green, it was obviously put out of action on Saturday night, on Monday the stones were still on the green, so there had been no one bowling on Sunday. Have we really wasted all that money on a white elephant? I know people have other things to do, but after all this time wanting a green is there nobody keen enough to play on it?
