A tricky carpet and Pennants at Rushworth

Mal rang Rushworth Bowls Club the other day to find out about social bowls. People at other clubs have told us it's a great little club. We decided to come on Saturday to watch them play Pennants.

Jean checked out the nice little clubhouse - decked out for Pennants refreshments.

While we were taking our photo in front of the sign Laurie came and introduced himself. He told us to go and check out the town market. We did but it was closing.

Mal had rung yesterday and spoke with Debbie who came out to see us. She told us they have training Monday morning but we're going to East Shepparton that day so will just roll up today. Lots of people knew who we were. Clearly they've been chatting about us.

It was Premier League Division Three against Shepparton Park. Laurie skipped.

Mal stood and chatted with John who's been bowling here 25 years. He used to live in the house across the road.

One of the ladies told Jean their President's name was also Jean. She had to get a photo!

There are two greens - one grass that they played Pennants on

And thin carpet synthetic we rolled up on.

Jean doesn't like this black and green carpet.

We did a few ends on it.

That was enough. It was tough. Very wide one side and extremely narrow the other.

Mal was all over it. Jean couldn't get near it until the last end when she evened the score.

Rushworth - our new friends!
