Our trip seems to be one day out! Goomeri had their social bowls last night - when we were at Nanango. We watched the club all day but no movement. We came for a late afternoon rollup.
When we arrived at the Showground, we asked the caretaker how far away the bowls club was. He smiled and pointed across the road. We were able to walk our bowls over.
Apparently on Friday night they have 'Bowls and Burgers'. That would have been fun!
The club has a sign that says it has it's silver jubilee in 1973. That makes it 75 years old!
There's only one green. It looks nice.
Again there were no mats and jacks to be found. We used Jean's synthetic jack and, this time, a Golden Square cloth (from Bendigo) as a mat.
We started our rollup. Jean was going well. She won every end up until it was 9 to 4. Then she felt sorry for Mal. The bowls were going bumpety bump down the green. He was getting frustrated on the short ends (and swearing). She suggested we do a long end.
That worked. Mal caught up. It was nine to six then, suddenly Mal got a full count and won the game. Jean said "I have to let you win so you don't get cranky!"
Goomeri - 'Bowls and Burgers' would have been lovely - shame!
