We came to North Bendigo because we were told we could get someone to roll up with after 4pm. Trouble was there was a singles final on and everyone was there to watch that.
It was Paul and Justin with President Jason as Marker.

They had one rink set up with a scoreboard for the match so we rolled up on that until the boys were ready. Someone said "You won't find better greens anywhere in the region ". We'd believe it. They were beautiful. A little quick as they'd just been rolled. Lots of grass one way but true line the other.
Our rollup was fun because we had an accidental audience. They kind of watched us and made a few comments along the way.

It's only a small club and we met three of the five lady members (including Joy and Val). They were friendly and funny. Mal sat and chatted for a while with John who used to work for Bowls Australia. They knew some of the same people.
It was a quick rollup on a fast green. Mal scored first as usual but Jean soon worked it out and rolled her short ends. When the boys took over the rink it was Jean 12 to Mal nine. A rare win!
The final game was interesting. Some lovely bowls played.
North Bendigo - we stayed for happy hour and watched the final for a while. Good game boys!
