A killing at East Shepparton!

We went to Shepparton Park yesterday and met Dennis who rang Kevin at East Shepparton to put our names down for Monday morning.

It's a decent sized clubhouse.

The Lechte family donated a clock for Graeme Lechte..

When we arrived we met Max and Robert at the desk.

Mal stood and chatted with Ivan and the two David's.

The club has three nice synthetic greens.

They are Jean's favourite carpet.

One is under cover.

There's a beautiful rose garden.

And a lovely cool outdoor area. They will put fans in soon.

We played on the front green

It's the F.A. Atwood Green.

We played pairs 2-4-2. Two games of twelve ends. We played together.

First game was against Geoff and Stan.

There were 26 blokes, a lady and Jean.

Jean met Keith who is President of Tatura. He is an Essendon supporter. His stick and bowls are black and red.

His bowls have a picture of his old FJ Holden.

First end, though it was quick, Jean managed the weight but with her third bowl took kitty and gave them two.

Second end she took kitty to the edge for two. Jean had fiveI touchers in three ends but Jean said to Stan "You guys are bloody good bowlers!" They got eight shots in three ends .

Kevin (who we spoke with yesterday) came and introduced himself.

They have interesting markers for Jack and bowl in the ditch. They stick with Velcro.

Lead Jean kept getting shots to no avail. We lost 8 to 14. We were happy with that because we dropped a five.

We came inside after the game for salad rolls made by the lovely ladies.

Second end we played Ivan and David (Minnie) who we met earlier. Minnie said they call him that because his surname is Minogue. In fact his first cousin is the Dad of Kylie and Danni.

Mal started off well. We won the first two.

Despite this, second game we didn't do much better. We lost our grass! In the end they doubled our score. We came in and they did presentations. Robert who runs the show gave us a rousing introduction.

Jean said "I did some bloodygoodbowlstoday. And we still got flogged!"

East Shepparton - no Velcro for us!
