We're staying at Jean's parent's place in Shellharbour and decided to drive down to Berry for a Wednesday afternoon game.
It's a pretty little clubhouse, inside
And out. The club is owned by Bomaderry Bowling Club.
The badge board is impressive.
There's a nice outdoor area which appears to be run by the Fishing club.
The plaque celebrates 100 years in 2012.
Keith looked after the money. He told Jean Kangaroo Valley club closed a few years ago and many of their members play here now.
There's a lovely little creek out the back behind the fishing club area. Keith told us it flooded a few months ago.
The flood came up half a metre over the wall by the green and knocked it over.
A cute little lizard (Jean named Lizzie) sat by the creek.
We met and sat with the Kangaroo Valley boys for some laughs before the game.
There are two nice-looking grass greens.
The Bill Oke Green has just been cored - it's flood repair.
We played on the far green which was being rolled as we arrived.
Today it was Jean and fifteen blokes. 26 ends of three-bowl pairs.
Jean and Mark
Played President Tige and Derek.
Mal and Daryl (Provan)
Were against Rob and Bob.
First end Jean did surprisingly well.
Mall called out "Hey Jean, get a shot of that!".
Jean was really happy with how she bowled. There was no wind. That made it easier to grab shots.
Provan said about Mal "I think we'll keep him!"
21st end of 26 Jean had perfect weight for 3.
Despite playing so well, Jean and Mark lost.
The barman managed to find a very old badge for Jean's hat.
Mal won 33 to 17. All winners got a voucher.
