Even though Jean contacted Avenel Bowling Club on Messenger, nobody got back to her. We assumed there'd be someone there for Pennants on Tuesday so drove out for a rollup.
When we arrived they were on half-time break. They were playing against Mooroopna. As we walked in one a Mooroopna lady was telling her Avanel counterpart about our trip. There were several people there we'd played with there and at other clubs. They asked us lots of questions.
It's a nice little clubhouse.
With a pretty garden out front.
There's just one grass green. Very nice to roll on.
Another one named after a woman (or a couple). The Esau & Blanch Shelton Green.
After a couple of ends the Pennants players came back out. There were rwo teams.
Mal started out and annoyed Jean with a full count.
He had three next end but Jean drove the kitty into the ditch for two.
Then she got another to be three to four.
Then Jean had three on the line then Mal took kitty for shot. One of the Mooroopna ladies called out "That was mean! I thought you had that!" Jean gestured to Mal. It was the beginning of the end for her.
Mal got another shot and Jean said "I've had enough of this!" As we walked off lots of players wished us well on our travels.
Avenel - so glad they wished us well!
Glad you enjoyed your brief visit to Avenel Bowling Club. Would have loved to have a roll-up with you but Pennant comes first - ofcourse! Enjoy the rest of your travels and bowling adventures along the way. Cheers Marion Gittus, President
