Eugowra - drinks with the locals

So we're off to Canowindra today (Sunday) and will stop on the way at Eugowra Bowling Club.

Jean found out a while back that they don't have social bowls. In fact, at Parkes Railway yesterday they told us Eugowra had a flood. Jean found out on WikiCamps there's a Showground there so decided to stay. Population 779!

Jean rang Eugowra and was told they hope to start social bowls soon but there will be members here on Sunday we can roll up with. There weren't. It's a cute club though. The bar is the focus.

Jean met Gumma and Tony. We chatted about Chuck Berry and the delights of the Central West.

There used to be two greens.

The bottom green got flooded and has been out of action for a while. We were told it was never real good.

We rolled up on the good green.

It's the Eric Morthorpe Memorial Green. It looked poor but had good speed. They ate all volunteers here.

Mal took first blood in our rollup. Jean was close.

Jean then got one back.

And again.

But Mal won the day with three on a T-Jack.

We went and had a drink and a chat with some locals.

Pete was the one who sorted mat and Jacks for us. Then he got the boombox and put 70s music on for us.

Eugowra - a tiny town welcomes us.
