Jean and the ladies of Paxton

We drove today from our overnight at Greta Workers to the little town Paxton. It has Ladies bowls here today so Jean will play.

The clubhouse was locked up so Jean had to get a photo through the screen.

Then she saw a lovely memorial wall.

Angela turned up while Jean was out the front taking photos. She said Mal could play but he'll go and check in to the showground.

All the ladies sat by the green and waited for the game to start.

There's one plastic synthetic green.

It's the Tim Phillips Green.

The rink markers are old bowls.

Jean didn't have to pay to play because she's a traveller. That was nice. It was Zelma and Jean. Jean skipped.

Against Gloria and Carol.

There were two games. One Fours and on Pairs. Twelve players in all. The ladies wanted to practise for Pennants.

Jean found it a little tough but second end she put in a beauty.

It wasn't easy to get the weight.

But she kept getting in there - to take shots off the opposition.

Jean and Zelma didn't win but we had a nice game.

Paxton - memories and memorials!
