Jean's been in touch with Shepparton Golf and Bowls via Messenger. She found out they don't have social bowls during Pennant season but have training on Tuesday afternoon. She told them we'd come to give the players some competition!
When we arrived there were a few players rolling up. We went inside. They were finishing up a post-Pennant meeting.
We met Richard the President. We told him we were looking for people to roll up with.
Richard went out and spoke with Garry and Geoff. They said we could roll with them.
There are two good grass greens. The guys reckon they are the best in the Goulburn Valley.
We rolled on the bottom green.
It's the Jim Cummins Green.
They have scoreboards which recognise Life Members.
It's the first time we've seen grape vines at a bowls club.
The boys told us they are separate from the Golf Club. They pay around $7K a year rent to the club, which includes water. They maintain the greens themselves and have their own clubhouse. They told us the club has fines. $2 each player if you lose your rink, $2 if you drop a four or more, if you are late, if you forget your uniform. $20 for a wrong bias. The money goes towards the end-of-season function - Mad Monday. It also costs $5 if you get your photo in the paper!
The boys were really good players. On the kitty every end. After a few ends Mal worked it out.
It took Jean a couple more ends
Then she scored another. That was about it!
Graeme came to model the new club shirt.
Mal rolled two touchers then Geoff took the kitty back Mal replied with shot. Jean was hoping Garry would take him out!
