Nambour Heights - so friendly!

We're trying to get a game every day while on the Sunshine Coast. We saw that Nambour Heights has Barefoot Bowls on Sunday arvo. We don't really like that but a game is better than a rollup!

The club, (known as 'The Heights ') has one nice-looking, unnamed grass green.

We arrived at 2:30 for 3pm. There were only a few people there. We met Brett at the table.

There was a nice outdoor area adjacent to the clubhouse.

Someone from the club told Jean on Messenger Sunday afternoon is known as 'Mikey's Chook Run'. Brett asked Jean about our trip. He said "You'll like Nambour Heights!"

Mal sat and chatted with Peter for a while. It was all pretty relaxed. They all seemed like friends

The scoreboards are donated.

There were two games. One triples and Mal and I played each other as skips in a game of fours. It was just twelve ends. Jean's team was Garry, Pete and Kev.

Mal's was Sheryl, Geordie and Gayle. Brett replaced Gayle later in the game.

The music was fantastic. 70s rock! They allow drinks on the green which is unusual.

There seemed to be more onlookers than players. Lots of heckling.

Jean and her team played particularly well. If the team was down Jean would come in and take shot. She enjoyed playing skip for a change. Mal on the other hand couldn't work out the green. A nice change for Jean.

Jean's team won by thirteen.

We came inside for drinks and raffles.

Jean's team had a plus 13 which would usually be enough to win a chook but were pipped by the triples at 16. Brett introduced us.

They gave us some stubby holders to remember our visit to Nambour Heights.

Lucky, because the skip had to wear the Cock Hat (for the top cock).

Nambour Heights - hugs and kisses all around!
