We haven't been to Canungra before. We drove up and down the mountain through beautiful scenery for Wednesday 'Paddle Pop Pairs'.
First person we met was Bruce the Greens Manager.
(Bruce and Mal)
Then we met Wendy the Kitchen Manager who just passed her coaches course.
They seem to be 'The Owls'. Ann told Jean Canungra is known by the local indigenous tribe as 'Valley of the Owls'
The club had a man from the Show sculpt an owl for them.
It's on the shirts.
There's a lovely garden in the entryway
With a memorial.
There's also a nice succulent garden on the wall.
The club has one grass green. It's beautiful. It looks and feels like carpet.
It's a tiny little clubhouse.
The bar has great paintings of bowlers
In creams.
And couple of old bowlers.
Bruce took our $10.
Jean played with Barry
Against Caius from Dublin (in his 5th game) and David.
Mal played with Joseph
Against Russell and Ann.
Jean worked the green out pretty quickly.
As did Mal.
Jean and Barry did very well. They won 20 to 3. Mal won 19 to 4.
We went inside for a cuppa and to select a new paddle pop stick for a new partner and opponents. Jean got Barry again against Bruce and Russell.
2nd game Mal was right into it.
Jean started well also.
Jean took the kitty back from one to four. Russell took it back then Barry took him out for six.
The opposition threw a long end. Jean drew to the T.
Jean and Barry had another win. Mal drew. Ann asked Jean if she had a good time. She said "I always have a good time when I bowl well!'
Canungra with the owls - we had a hoot!
