Fun game at Teralba

It's our last day in Newcastle for this leg of our trip. We drove up to Teralba for an early morning game.

It's a small old-fashioned clubhouse.

With a long array of past Presidents.

We liked the 'Beernbullshitcorner'.

There's some history in this club.

And some great old photos.

The club is right on Cockle Creek.

When we arrived we met Club Manager Rob.

He gave us some hats and cloths.

We met Dot who lived in Canberra in the 60's.

Then we met John who wore Jean's favourite Gulgong shirt.

We sat and chatted with the boys. Dennis, Barry, Mal and Frank.

There are two greens. One is grass.

The other is plastic synthetic. It was being rolled as we arrived.

There's a sign saying "The Mullet Run". That's their emblem from the Mullet in the creek. Maurie told Jean that once an Osprey caught a Mullet out of the creek, flew over and dropped it onto the green. It was still alive so the bar girl got it and put it back in the creek!

Jean was very happy to see a green named after a woman - Enid Stevens.

There's a bubbler donated by the family of a young person who died.

We played three-bowl triples. Mal, Jean and Maurice.

We're against Graham (91), Tanya and Alan (Willo 95).

Jean had one then Mal put kitty in the ditch. It was an unbeatable shot.

Jean complained Willo kept bettering her photo-worthy bowls. She finally got one.

A bit later Jean got a Resting Toucher then Maurie consolidated.

Graham was very entertaining telling Jean lots of great stories. She kept forgetting to bowl. Still she caught Mal's good bowl.

We won 24 to 11 after Maurie's 12 Touchers.

We came second. Winners got 28 to 12. They asked Jean to spin The wheel

We won second prize.

Teralba - bowls with the granddads!
