We left Jean's niece Melanie's place in Tyalgum this morning. We arrived at Chindera and Jean immediately rang Cabarita Beach Bowls Club to get a game.
The guy she spoke to said we were an odd team but that he'd ring back if he could get another team. 5 minutes later he did. We arrived and Ken at the desk took our money.
Barry looked after the cards with Terry and Laurie.
(Terry, Laurie and Barry)
There seems to be a Services relationship
The clubhouse is a decent size
With a nice outdoor area by the green.
There are three lovely grass greens.
We played on rink 2 on the Barry Murnane Green
Behind the clubhouse.
We played together
against Terry and Laurie who we met earlier.
Laurie wore a shirt from Lismore that they sold to raise money after the floods.
Terry and Laurie were good bowlers. We often had shot but they drove it off us. It was fun (though frustrating).
Mal did a drive way out wide. Jean lost interest after that. "You can't make a mistake like that when you play bowlers this good!" We dropped a five and lost 17 to 3. Ken asked Jean "Were they nice to you?" Jean replied "No!" He said "No, they never are." Jean said, "They were only not nice for bowling, in every other way they were very nice!"
We went in downhearted at half time for tea and bickies. Mal had to ring the wrong bias bell. We started our next game against Tasmanians who were quite unfriendly. We didn't include their photo. We played ok, though the initial score didn't show it. We were down the whole game.
President Bob came and introduced himself.
We were way behind but won 12 to ten after we threw short ends and won the last five ends.. President Bob called that we weren't actually good enough to win but called Jean up to give her a club badge. Jean also won $20 in the money draw.
Cabarita Beach - a new badge for Jean's hat.
