We discovered yesterday we'd missed Kingaroy's social bowls day so decided to drive out late Friday arvo, just in case they have organised Friday rollups like other clubs.
They didn't. Still, we can'texpect people to show up just for us - especially since they didn't know we were coming! It was all locked up. No mats and jacks to be found. Mal checked out the bowler on the wall.
We couldn't work out what the insects were on the front sign. Lyn from the club told us on Messenger they are Red Amts that the club is known by.
And there's an old roller. Wonder if they still use it.
There are three greens.
Only two seem to be in use.
We bowled on the front one.
Mal forgot his bowls shoes so Jean bowled in socks for solidarity.
We used Jean's yellow synthetic jack
And a Bourke Bowling Club cloth for a mat.
The grass was hard. The bowls sounded like they were on sand. It wasn't a very exciting rollup. We had some good heads (except Jean's in the ditch).
Mal bowled in socks
And so did Jean.
It was pretty close. It got to five all.
Then Mal ran away with it.
It was 9 to 5 and Jean called last end. Mal got the ten.
Kingaroy - some people would have been nice.
