Bowling for the Diggers in Rockhampton

We found out a while ago that Diggers' Memorial has Men's bowls on Thursday. Mal will play in his Queanbeyan RSL shirt 👕.

MONDAY

We dropped in on Monday to get Mal's name down to play with the boys on Thursday. First person we met was Dave.

Dave introduced us to President Joe.

It's a long, spacious clubhouse.

There's a lovely memorial.

Greg gave us the run-down on what to see around here.

He showed us the good view of Mount Archer from the green.

There are two good quality carpet synthetic greens with pull-over shades.

The green closest to the club was set up for a group of school kids.

The greens are named for D.A. (Hook) Anderson M.B.E.

The synthetics were installed in 2010 and upgraded in 2019.

THURSDAY

Mal arrived in his QBN RSL shirt in respect for the Diggers.

Jean chatted with Keith, Glen, Norm and Rob.

Al the Games Director looked after the money. He told Jean she could have a game. He said "We're phere to accommodate!"

Jean played Pairs and Mal played Triples. It was Jean and Keith

Against Shane and Steve.

Then Dave, Brian and Mal

Against Ron Steve and Frank.

Jean and Keith were down. Jean played weight and knocked out Steve's bowl for shot.

Mal played a beauty and took kitty for three!

Mal and Jean were on different greens so Jean said he had to take photos of his good bowls. She was worried but he came through.

Jean was proud of her Toucher.

Jean played weight again and got two back on the 'T' with a toucher in the ditch.

Mal won by two, Jean won by eight. Jean said "Must've been my great bowling :-) "

Diggers Memorial Rockhampton - Jean's day!
