While we were on the road to Camden from Wollongong we rang Alan who we'd met when we popped in a week ago. Alan told us to ring Alex who put our names down for today. Mal had played once in Wollongong last week so we were hanging out for a game!
We'd met Alex before. He was the guy who rang Picton for us to get a game there when there was none here.
We met Parramatta fan Ron out the front. He directed us to the table to pay our green fees.
Tuesday seems to be run by the ladies. At the table we met Cynthia, June and Irene.
It's a nice little clubhouse. They told us it's just been refurbished after going under water during the floods.
It's a good rollup with lots of men to play.
They are the 'Camden Rams'.
We read the rules and paid our respects to life members.
The club used to have three greens. One is now a sports court.
There are two grass greens left.
We played on the back green.
It's the Steve Laker Green.
Formerly the Les Murdoch Green.
It's triples today. Alex called the cards.

Against Geoff, Sharon And Maurie.
There was zero wind. Beautiful.
Jean and Margaret were bowling well. 4th end they were up 5.
Eighth end they were four down and Jean drew shot.
Mal reckoned he wasn't doing any good bowls but Jean spied one.
Jean and Margaret kept bowling well, then Frank would consolidate for multiples. Gina said to Jean and Margaret "You are playing well as a team." Jean agreed.
Frank's team won 22 to 12.
Mal won 24 to 10. Jean's players all left so she sat for a nice chat with Mal's.
Camden Bowling Club - a satisfying gamw!
