Jean's been corresponding via Messenger with someone from Kilkivan Bowls Club. She got her name down for Sunday while Mal played in the Gympie President's Day.
She dropped Mal off at Gympie Bowls Club at 8:45. There were lots of players there from many clubs. Mal found out he was to play with the Kilkivan team. Jean met a bloke from Pomona who will put our names down for Wednesday . In the carpark she spied her first Cane Toad.
She was worried because she thought the Kilkivan game started at 1pm and it took longer to get there than she thought. She arrived at 12:40 to meet Warren who said it's 1:30. She was relieved .
Then Anne and Errol arrived. The guys told Jean the town name is pronounced "Kilk-ivan" like the name.
Jean thought the club was nice.
Small but inviting.
The outside seemed friendly.
The club has one ten year old synthetic which has good speed.
The carpet is pretty worn but ok.
It has a bird guarding it.
They have one of those cute little trolley with the mats, jack and markers.
There were only a few people there. We had one game of triples. Ashley and Warren skipped.
Paul and Jean played with Ashley and Helena and Errol played with Warren. Helena didn't want her photo taken. We respect that. Paul and Helena are new bowlers.
(Paul and Jean)
Ashley's team won the first end. Paul and Jean had two until Warren stole it with a great draw bowl.
It happened again the same way. Even so, we got a five which put us up 12 to 3.
We bowled ok but our skip Ashley just kept putting bowls in the head. What a bowler!
Jean thought she bowled well. It was only Paul's third game. He played really well but got annoyed (with a smile) when Jean (his teammate) got closer.
Mal rang about4 to say he was finished. Jean told Ashley and the skips agreed to finish at 15. We won by a lot - 28 to 5. Jean didn't have time to stay for drinks.
Ashley gave her a badge to remember them by. Pride of place next to Malden on her hat!
Kilkivan - a little game with lots of fun.
