Jean tops it at Greta

We drove the six minutes it takes to get from Branxton to Greta Workers Club. Jean got permission from Ross the CEO to park our caravan there. There's no social bowls on Monday so we'll have a rollup instead.

It's quite a big club. It previously owned the Miller Park Bowls Club. It's a big clubhouse.

With a lovely indoor/outdoor seating area.

We met Ross when we arrived.

Mal wanted a beer before our rollup. We were the only people in the club.

We parked our van in the right place - behind the shed.

There's one grass green. Ross said it's reputed to be the best in Newcastle region.

It's had some work done on it recently. Aerating or something.

Jean felt good today.

She got a four but they weren't close. Mal was having trouble with weight.

He tried his best. His grass was awry. He said "I reckon it hasn't been rolled!" Jean told him Ross said the Greenkeeper is away so he's probably correct.

But Jean got in there. Mal surrounded her.

Jean was really happy with how she bowled.

Then suddenly Mal got his mojo back!

And kept it!

Karen and son Xander came down for a Rollup. Karen plays here. Xander is 16 years old, plays for Kurri Kurri and is in the NSW side. Karen said she saw our post from yesterday on the Miller Park Facebook page!

Even though we no longer keep score Jean's pretty sure she won today. Mal, not so much!

Mal stayed in the club for beers and met Doug and his doggy Tiger.

Greta - we met a young champion!
