Bowls on the Lawn (Tennis) at Warrnambool

When we were at Dennington on Wednesday they told us about Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Bowls Club. We didn't have it on our map. Jean added it. We dropped in on Thursday to check it out.

THURSDAY

We met Monty and Karen at the bar. They told us their social days are Monday and Thursday. We were happy about being able to play on Monday

SATURDAY

Since it's next door to our caravan park, we dropped in on Saturday to watch them play Pennants against Dennington and Koroit. Some great bowls were put down. The green is new - one year.

The club is owned by the Lawn Tennis Club.

The bowler's have a separate little clubhouse out the front.

There's a good barbecue area that seems well-used.

And an outdoor seating area that looks inviting.

We met Ian who we saw at Dennington on Wednesday.

Ian wanted to see Jean's Bowls Eye. He was intrigued when he saw Jean use it at Dennington.

Lots of Lawn Tennis bowlers came over to say gidday. They were happy they would see us again on Monday.

MONDAY

We came back on Monday as planned for social bowls.

Robert and Janette looked after the money.

They put the names on a board.

There were three games with Fours and Triples.

It was Gary, Jean, Cathy and Monty.

Against Peter, Janette, Leo, and Graham (from Hervey Bay).

Mal played against Graeme, Gerard and Neville.

We didn't manage any photos of our good bowls. We didn't do many. Mal's team lost and Jean's won.

Second game Jean's team played Don (Flo), Mal and Brian.

Jean finally did a photo-worthy bowl (though she had some help).

Mal got a good shot until Cathy pushed him out and took it. Garry (Jean)'s team won the game again.

We came in after game two for a cuppa.

3rd game Jean played Mick, Shirley, Peter and Sean.

Mal played Bob, Peter, Betty and Fini.

Jean finally did two good bowls but then Peter stole shot!

Mal lost again. As the only one with three wins, Gary's team won the money.

Warrnambool Lawn Tennis - a Green day for all!
