A very close game at Brighton

We were going to leave the big cities for a few years but Jean had to get her Thermomix serviced in Brisbane. Geoff from Brighton had been following our trip and invited us to play Friday. Of course we had to come!

Geoff is the Greenkeeper. He saw us arrive and met us at the door. He told us this is the friendliest club around here.

We met Gary, Jimmy and Steve at the table.

It's a nice little clubhouse.

It's 'Barracuda Stadium'.

The bar has 'Lamenter's Corner'. We guess if you have a big loss!

They are proud of their last year's Pennants.

There's the Merv Chant Memorial. Apparently Macca is the "Stirrer of the Month".

We met Senior Vice President Jack.

Michelle the club Chairperson came specially to meet us.

There are two good grass greens.

We played on the front green.

The T. Clark Green.

The guys decided that because Geoff and Graeme are "The Ambassadors of the Club" they should play pairs against us.

We played together.

There were two greens of bowlers.

There was a boom box with old groovy music.

Jean's first bowl was brilliant. "Might be the only one. " she said.

Mal put three in.

Jean had four. She said to Geoff "Don't you mess up my photo!" He did! But Mal fixed it!

Mal was playing so well!

There's another club Eventide that got kicked out of their clubhouse. They play here Tuesday and Friday. Michelle said we could park our van here. We'll stay Sunday to Tuesday and come and play with them.

We were 11-all going into the last end. They scored one. Jean thought we were evenly matched although Graeme is left-handed but played right-handed due to surgery. We wouldn't want to play him when he's normal! We came inside for presentations.

They have lots of prizes.

They take photos of them all.

At the end Michelle presented us with a gift. A shirt, stubby holders, pin, a cloth and fly stoppers.

Brighton - Geoff was right, a very friendly club!
