We drove an extra 90 minutes from Taroom today just so we could play Barefoot Bowls at Miles Bowls Club tonight.
We came to the bar to put our names down with Sarah⁰.
Everyone was sat at the bar.
It's a small club.
It seems like a workers club - in Nationals territory! Jean liked that.
Then we sat down for a chat with Jenelle and Tom.
Mal stood under the sign.
The green, as Stan in Taroom told us, is a carpet synthetic.
It's that green and black one we don't like.
It has old-fashioned shades.
Mal asked Ash who was who won the 'A' Grade singles so he could make sure he didn't play the winners.
There were three games under lights. A nice change. We got six on the first end but Jean forgot to take a photo.
We played together
Against Ash and Scotty (been here from Scotland just three weeks).
(Scotty and Ash)
Jean got a photo of her four
Before Ash stole them with a fabulous weighted shot!
Scotty told Jean there are three Scotts in the club. Big Scott, Medium Scott and Wee Scott. Guess which one he is! They seemed to all be good friends. They ribbed and encouraged each other all game. Bob kept commenting on Jean's red bowls that always had shot.
We had four then Mal played weight and knocked Ash up for Shot.
We were scoring lots and Ash was taking us out. Still, it wasn't enough.
Last end Jean did four perfect weight bowls. Ash then put the kitty in the ditch for one!
We won 14 to 7. The first six got in their heads.
We came inside for drinks and raffles. Scotty showed Mal a 1984 World Championship that Scotland won.
Miles - a win with very friendly people.
