A little rollup at Jesmond

We left Water Board after our great game and drove around the corner to Jesmond Sports Club for a rollup. We'd been told by both Water Board and Edgeworth people that the Jesmond Club is on it's last legs. We thought we'd see for ourselves.

It's a relaxed little clubhouse on the inside.

Apparently it was called The Heaton Birmingham Gardens Bowling Club. Now Jesmond Sports.

Jean walked out and met Trish and Robyn

They told Jean they were watching the slowest game of Pairs ever. It started 9:30 and finished 1:45.

Inside Mal met Geoff, Pauline, Kenny and Dave.

They were interested in Mal's Tuggeranong shirt.

The club has two greens - one grass the Pairs was played on.

And an old plastic synthetic we rolled up on.

As usual, named after a man. Peter Keogh.

It's a bit damaged in parts but rolled OK.

Our bowls came out sandy.

Jean tried it out.

She'd been practising at Water Board so did Ok.

Mal had a turn.

Of course he had to better Jean.

Jean did have shot with her front bowl then Mal took the kitty back to her back bowl.

He did his best to better Jean again.

We did a few ends then made a quiet exit.

Jesmond - not sure who won!
