We drove past Seymour Victorian Railway Institute (VRI) Bowling Club on Friday when we arrived in Seymour to find out about social bowls. There are none!
We happened to catch Secretary Judy who told us they don't have social bowls during Pennant but there would be people there for training Thursday night.
The navigation took us to a four-rink green that Judy told us is the old ladies green. We were just lucky we incidentally drove past the other green.
THURSDAY
Everywhere we went when we said we were going to VRI people said "Oh, they like a drink there". It seems that's true. They were all out on the verandah when we arrived. They were very, very welcoming.
It's a nice little clubhouse.
The guys called out President Ian who was so glad we came. He organised Mark to roll up with us.
Mark was happy to give us a roll.
There's just one small 5-rink green.
Mark said the green is usually set up for four rinks but today it's five. The wind made it tough. Jean had shot but with her next bowl knocked the kitty over to Mal.
She got another two But they weren't very good.
Mark had shot then Mal came through the hole.
We came inside because Ian told us the selectors were going to announce Pennants teams. We joined in with drinks from the barman.
Ian wanted to introduce us. He did and we told some stories and answered some questions.
Mark is a linesman. He once worked above the club and took an aerial photo.
Jean sat and chatted with Ian, Phil Paul and Joe.
