Majellan Bowling Club - a lovely Sunday afternoon

Our last day in Bathurst we are going for a game to Majellan - Bathurst's second club. Mal's skip at Bathurst was from there and told us about Sunday afternoon social bowls.

When we arrived we met Leonie and Jo at the table.

Jean showed the girls her hat with the badges. Jo went on a search and found one.

Jo told us the club is 100% voluntary except for a couple of bar staff.

It has a nice outdoor area

With a Barbecue at the end.

One of the guys thought we might like a club shirt. "Jelly (Magellan) Bowlers Bathurst".

When we saw Mt Panorama on the back we both had to get one.

The club has two nice grass greens.

We played on the front green. It's been North/South all winter and just got changed. It's quick.

It's the Flanagan Green (could be a man or a woman).

It's three-bowl triples - fifteen ends - but after each five ends we swap positions. It was Leonie, Liz and Jean.

Against Jo, Kevin and Mick.

Mal played with Steve and Ray.

Against Heather, Sally and Noel.

Jean started off well. She and Liz had two.

Jean was dancing on the green with the US rock music.

After the changeover Leonie and Jean got five. Jo cut it back to two then Liz came in with two more for four.

They suggested Jean take a photo of the scoreboard on end thirteen. It was close! Jean's team won 15-13.

Mal had the same - ten all. He won 12 to 10. Jean asked if he took any photos of his good bowls. He said "I didn't do any!" We came inside and all sat together for drinks.

Majellan - such a happy bunch!
