At Anglesea Mal lost the line and weight

We took the weekend off to hang out with Jean's cousin Jenny. On Sunday Jean rang Anglesea to put our names down for Monday. We drove 25 minutes there hoping they got the message.

When we arrived we met Bronwyn and Dot who organised things.

Jean rang the club again on our way and Dot asked what position we like to play. She put us in the same team. Jean led and Mal skipped.

It was unusually fours. Two games of ten ends. There were only four teams, so just two rinks. We played with Carmel (second) and Rick (third).

Our first opposition was Sue, Jim, Stuart and skip Roma.

The club has two synthetic greens. They call one "the horrible green' we played on the good one.

Jean felt a bit flat, probably because we've had a few days off. She put a couple of good bowls down but (as usual on synthetic) struggled a bit with weight.

Mal saved our bacon a few times but it wasn't enough. He found it hard to get both line and weight which is unusual for him. We lost by 6.

We went inside for a cup of tea, a biscuit and a chat. Then we went back out for the second game against Max, John, Bronwyn and skip Merle.

Jean and Rick did two pearlers and Jean said "That's it for me, I've done my good bowls for the game." She was right. Mal didn't do much better but the team did ok as a whole, we only lost by two.

The club members seemed to be good friends with each other which was nice. We met President Ben with whom Jean had had Messenger chats months ago about social bowls.

We stayed for the raffle and jackpot draw. We didn't win but it was a bit of fun.

Anglesea - would've been good to have something in the head!
