We've been in Tropical Far North Queensland for a couple of days now. It's Men's day on Thursday in Innisfail so Mal will play then.
We popped in Tuesday to find out about social bowls. The Ladies Classic Fours was on.
The club had its centenary last year.
We came back on Thursday and Mal met Sam and Bob who organised the bowls.
It's a light airy clubhouse.
With a covered verandah.
And a nice photo array of past Presidents.
With some old trophies.
There's one synthetic green.
It has quite the view!
Bowls help players off the green.
While he waited to play Mal stood by himself.
Today it was two games of Fours and one Triples. Mal played Triples with Mark and Billy. We met Mark when we went to The Albert.
First game against Jamie, Bob and Dennis.
Jean had to go to the chiropractor. By the time she got back Mal had gone down 14 to 8. They came in to sandwiches for Smoko.
It wasn't that hot (28°) but 40% humidity. Jean melted from her walk to the chiro! One of the guys said to her "You should come here when it's 80%!" "I think not!" She replied.
Mal's second game was three against four. The opponents were Richard, Peter Doug and Albert.
The boys showed Jean the mural they had done for the club's centenary.
They were doing better this game. Jean finally got a photo of Mal's shot bowl!
Mal the Second did his part for the team!
The guys didn't really talk a lot. Jean said "It's definitely the humidity makes them quiet!"
Mal's team won their second game by five. They came inside and Bob spun the wheel. The jackpot went off.
