Charity game for MND at Lake Boga

We were told this morning at Murray Downs club that Lake Boga has a charity game tonight for Motor Neurone Disease. It's just 1 km from our caravan so we drove down.

We met husband and wife Ken and Janet.  Ken is the President. We got our names down. They said a couple of players recently lost spouses to MND.

It's barefoot bowls - fours - two games of seven ends. They were expecting 100 people - many from Lake Boga. Lots don't know how to play bowls.

The club has two really nice. Wide grass greens. They were both full.

There's a step up to green two.

They were preparing the green when we arrived.

Mal wanted a roll up before we played. We rolled up on rink 3.

The game cost $15 with a sausage sizzle.

The spread was fantastic!

We filled our plates! It was like Christmas!

The Lake Boga shirts are impressive.

It was an eclectic mix of players. After dinner they were all in a party mood.

By 7pm we were chomping at the bit to get going.

Jean played with Mal, Richard and Nola.

We played first game against Brenda, Barry, Trevor and Trevor.

Meanwhile the sun set

and the dusk came over. We lost by four.

Second game was against Ken, Robyn and Kevin. We won 13 to three.

With only seven ends each game was pretty much over before it began. Back inside we won two raffle prizes.

Lake Boga - thanks for supporting us and MND.
