Mudgee - we both bowled with the ladies

We're in Gulgong for five days. Today is our last day. Jean went on Messenger to find out Mudgee Ladies play Tuesday morning. We got up bright and early.

The club is part of 'Club Mudgee' but has its own identity.

The clubhouse is really just an office

And some lockers.

But it has a nice outdoor area.

With a bar.

There's a funny little sculpture made from horse shoes.

Jean met Helen and Leila from Match Committee.

The club has two nice-looking grass greens.

The bottom green was closed. We played on the top.

Old bowls decorate the outdoor seating area.

Leila looked at all the badges on Jean's hat. One of the ladies Bonnie asked "Do you have one of ours?"

She got one. Jean put it next to Mudgeeraba.

They were short again so Mal played second with skip (Mal forgot her name) Judy and Beverley.

Against Pam, Lyndall and Helen

And skip Sandra.

Jean played lead for skip Bonnie with Kay

(Bonnie, Jean and Kay)

Against skip Rhonda, Margaret and Gail.

The green was super quick. We started with a Spider and our bowls were way up the back. Good thing was that Leila said 2nd prize would be closest to Mal's bowl. Jean got that and won a torch.

Jean found it hard to get the weight. When she did the opposition took it off. Finally on end 5 she got it.

Mal towered over all the ladies.

Jean waited for eleven ends to take a photo of Mal's good bowls. He said "I haven't done any!" He finally got two on end 16 - including a toucher.

Then he did it again the next end!

Jean took Kitty but it didn't last long.

The skips said of Mal "The last few ends he's done beautiful bowls!" They won 26 to 12.

Jean's team needed seven to win. It ended up 17 to 12. We came in for lunch and drinks.

Mudgee Bowling Club - thanks ladies!
