Mal rang the number Jean found for Terang Bowling Club and spoke with Graham. He asked if they have bowls on Thursday. Graham said no but that he'd organise a rollup for us - 3pm.
They have two nice Synthetic greens installed 18 years ago. We rolled up on the far one which ran about 18 seconds.
We turned up at 3:10 and were welcomed by Graham, Ros and Peter. We rolled up, Mal and Jean against Graham and Peter.
We had a great competition. They had it all over us most of the game. Mal put down some great bowls but Graham always pipped him at the post. He couldn't believe how much grass we had to take.
Peter told Jean "Bowl to the edge of that brick building."
We finally worked the green out and eventually won with one shot on the last end.
Ros and Jamie rolled up next rink.
The club has some great history.
After the game Graham opened up the bar and shouted us a drink. We sat around with Graham, Ros and Jamie and talked all things bowls and regaled them with our adventures.
They told us the club's claim to fame was member Margaret Sumner who was national champion and played bowls there right up to when she passed away last year.
Graham gave us some pens to remember our visit to Terang.
Terang - don't forget to take grass!
