Nambour - no game for us visitors

Someone from the club told Jean Nambour Bowls Club plays Bowls Wednesday afternoon. We couldn't get anyone to answer the phone on Monday and Tuesday. Mal rang at 11 but was told they have already done the draw so we couldn't get a game. John said he'd look after us for a rollup.

It was Lara and Ararat all over. There's no way to contact the club beforehand to get our names down because nobody is home! Jean was told one could leave a message but the phone just rang out. We arrive early but can't get a game. We suspect no visitors ever come here.

We arrived at 11:30 for our rollup to meet John.

(John and Mal)

John told us they were going to roll the green first for their game so we went inside for a drink.

Jean bought a badge for $2.

We sat and chatted with Slatts. He and Mal told each other their golf stories.

The club has two nice-looking grass greens.

The Croquet Club is next door.

Jean loved the display of Pennants.

There were no roses (too hot) but nice yellow flowers.

They were playing a social game - we couldn't join them - but we rolled up next door.

Mal got his new XGs out. First rollup with them.

Jean took first blood with three

Then Mal got a one.

Then he remembered how to bowl with XGs.

It was quicker than we thought, then Jean worked it out - "Less backswing!"

Jean practised driving without much success.

Jean gave up - Mal went up and back.
