We stayed an extra night in Childers as we knew there was bowls in Gin Gin on Wednesday. We came for that.
There's some discrepancy about the name Gin Gin. Some say it's named after a place with the same name in WA. Other's say it's from the Indigenous word chin chin meaning “thick scrub”.
When we arrived we met Ann - selector - at the desk.
It's a nice little club. Quite modern inside.
There's a painting of the old clubhouse.
There are some good historical pictures.
The boys sat at the bar.
One man, Doug, reminded Jean of her Dad who left us in December. She couldn't stop staring.
Lesley served us at the bar.
The club has two really nice-looking grass greens. The greenkeeper is the only paid person.
The club shirts are nice.
We played out the side
On the George Sellers Memorial Green.
It was a triples game. Phil, Jean and skip Allan
Against Barb, Mal and skip Richie.
Allan's team lost the first few ends then scored a four. End six Jean worked out the weight. One shot each team member.
Jean bowled another toucher. Mal said of his bowls "They nearly went in the creek!"
It was a close game.
Mal finally got it!
It ended up 18 all on 18 ends. Doug and Mal sat at the bar for a drink.
Gin Gin - a close game with nice people.
