Bowl with happy people at Mitchell

Jean contacted Mitchell Qld a couple of weeks ago to find out about social bowls and whether we can park our van there overnight. We did and bowls is today - Thursday.

We drove from Injune, arrived about 11:30 and met Neville.

It's a nice little clubhouse. Light and airy. Everyone sat at the bar before bowls.

There's an impressive array of past Presidents.

In fact we were very impressed with the President's Chair!

Our van is parked out the back.

The club has just one grass green.

Mitchell is a tiny little town but it was a good rollup. Enough for three games of Triples and one Fours. There were a few Indigenous players which pleased Jean no end!

Jean skipped the Fours. It was Jean, Bruce, Herschel and Sissy.

Against Clayton, Ron, John and Meisch. Jean remarked to Clayton "They're a happy-go-lucky bunch!" He replied "We're all mad here!"

Minnie, Janice and Mal.

Played Doug, Richie and Lorraine.

We didn't get any photos of our bowls because we both skipped. Jean got a pic of Mal's last end- he was in the vicinity at least!

Mal had a bad game, he lost 9 to 17. He said "Every time we had 5 or six shots Richie came in and took it off us!" Jean's team was 11 all, 12 all then 13 all going in to the last end. They got a five (with everyone's bowl in the head) for a good win! We came in for drinks.

Mitchell- we bowled with a happy mob!
