When we drove around to the city clubs on Monday some people from Victoria Bowls Club told us about their annual Australia Day Fours comp. Mal rang Peter and got us into a game with father and son Billy and Brett.

Jean chatted with Bill and Ron when we arrived. It was a lovely day. 28° and sunny.

Mal chatted with organiser Peter.
There are three greens. An eight-rink carpet
and two grass greens. We played on grass. 12 teams.
The other green seems to be out of action.
The tournament has good prizes. $15 entry and $500 1st prize. We get a nice roast beef roll at the end.
We played three games of seven ends. The scoring was 20 points for a win and a point each end won. We arrived at rink 10 and met Brian, John, Brad and skip Craig our opposition from Buninyong.

There were mostly Victoria players but some from other clubs. We started with the national anthem then they played Aussie rock music in the background.
Jean scored the first shot and we were away.
The Buninyong boys scored a couple then Mal and Brett scored to put us ahead. The weight kept changing. We drew and shared the points.
Second game was against Kris, Bob, Ray and Barry. We got a four which is a positive in a seven end game. We won eight to six.

Third game we played against Doc, Barry, John and skip Len who represented Milands. We won the first two ends. And went on to win.

Overall we came third with 62 points. We won $50 each.
Victoria - we had so much fun!
