Camden RSL - a really tight contest

We've been to Camden RSL a few times but missed out on a game. We came back especially so we could play in the two Camden clubs. Today is RSL's turn we walked across the road from Camden Bowling Club yesterday to put our names down.

We walked in and met Kay and Ken. They told us we didn't have our names down. We said "It's on the second page!" They told us it's full because they only have eight rinks. The second page is for next week! They said they'd do a game of fours to fit us in.

There were lots of bowlers there.

The clubhouse is a decent size.

They only have one green - eight tight rinks.

It's the Howard Perrin - Mick Lillis Green.

Because it's RSL it has a military theme.

We were the fours game. Jean was Second with lead Toby, Kay and skip Peter.

Against lead Lilly, second Bruce, Mal as third and skip John.

The club is 'The Platypuses'.

Like at Camden yesterday there was no wind.

Jean took her time to get the weight. Mal did better (that's Lilly's bowl, not Jean's!).

Jean started to work it out. The team had four.

Jean drew a nice shot then Mal stole it. They were catching up after being ten down.

Sixteen all on end 16 - eight ends each!

Pete's team won the last two. 20 to 16.

We came in for drinks. Mal said "There were some good bowls put down today!

They did presentations. We didn't win but had lots of fun!

As we left voices called out "Happy travels!"

Camden RSL - Mal;s team came back but alas he didn't win.
