We were bemused by the fact we'd missed Bungaree last time we were in Ballarat as itsso close. We must've run out of time. We came for Thursday training.
Jean's been chatting on Messenger about training day and promised we'd come today. The clubhouse is more like a changeroom.
First person we met was John. We found out he's learnt to bowl with his left hand due to recent surgery. He and Jean talked about their experiences with that.
Next we met John and Ivan.
We rolled up
with Lorraine and Frank. Lorraine is a new bowler who promised her husband she'd play, before he passed last year.
Lorraine introduced us to her son-in-law Jason who is a founding member and ex-President. It's one of the youngest clubs. It was founded in 2013.
The club has one synthetic green. There were about 30 people practising.
Jean was keen to get started with our rollup.
She nailed grass and weight early on. Mal was really struggling with grass.
But then he suddenly worked it out.
He had three before Lorraine scored a beauty.
Lorraine had to leave so Ash joined us.
Jean got her groove back for three!
So did Mal.
After our rollup Mal reviewed the green's idiosyncrasies with Graeme. He explained about the forehand grass then Graeme put two pearlers down.
We had to leave before Ivan's 6:00 barbecue to get back and feed Jerome our pussy-cat. We were sad about that.
