Jean won and Mal lost at Warwick - (just sayin')

We came to Warwick on Tuesday on our way to Brisbane to get Jean's Thermomix repaired. We checked out Warwick Bowls Club - one of the three clubs here.

The club was closed. The sign said it's only open two hours a day. Bowls is the 3rd Wednesday of the month that's tomorrow.

The park next door is very pretty.

Jean photographed the tiny little clubhouse through the glass.

A nice photo of the official opening in 1913. Oldest club outside metropolitan Brisbane.

We saw the nice Centenary memorabilia.

There's an under cover area by the green.

With memorial seats.

There's a dedication of the opening of the current clubhouse.

The club has one grass green.

When we came back we met Pat, Carol (Secretary) and Little Faye in the office.

Parking is hard to find. We had a chat to Barry about it. He said the club has 40 members.

Inspector Russell Reynolds came to chat with Mal. He told us lots of history about Warwick, Brisbane and surrounding cities and towns.

Four games were arranged. Two triples and two pairs.

Mal played pairs and Jean played triples. It was Jean, Geoff and Ray

Against Pat, Ken and Jim.

Mal played with Faye

Against Clark and Michael.

The green was tough. It was so narrow on the clubhouse side. Jean had to bowl backhand at the jack. She got shot a long way away!

Mal was doing well.

Jean was over the moon to score a Toucher then Ray came and got one as well.

The opposition was five shots up. Mal put one down with weight. He took the kitty for one!

We came in half way for a lovely afternoon tea.

We came out. Jean got the Skip's hat off for her Resting Toucher. Then she lost it 😞.

Mal's team went down. Jean's team was down the whole game. Second-last end they got a five to make them even going into last end. They pulled a rabbit out of the hat with three beautiful shots and a win!

We came inside and sat around the table.

Mal's opponents won the donated KFC vouchers.

Warwick gave us a good game.
