NSW & Qld - Bingara & Texas

We're on our way to Queensland. Our last stop in NSW is Bingara then we're headed over the border to Texas.

BINGARA

We stopped at Bingara Sports Club intending to roll up but it didn't quite work out that way.

The club was closed. The bowling greens are across the road with a little shed.

There's a nice dedication, a former President

There are two grass greens.

We photographed the front green.

We had to park a distance away. The mat box was locked and we didn't fancy walking back to the car to get our bowls and floor mat.

We decided photos were enough and headed for Texas!

TEXAS

Texas is a tiny town with a bowling green.

A nice little clubhouse inside with a few regulars.

There's a good covered seating area by the green. We had some spectators!

Lou the bartender showed us where the mats and jacks were.

We had a chat with Archie, Gerry, Dino and Dave.

Vintage was also there. He claims to be a wino!

Vintage introduced us to Dave the Games Director

There's a nice grass green.

The scoreboards are donated by local people and businesses.

Jean took off.

She was very happy with her bowl. The crowd roared!

Then it was Mal's turn.

Of course he had to try to do better! The spectators cheered the bowls more than they heckled!

Then Jean drove Mal's two shots out and left the kitty. Woo hoos from the crowd!

Not to be outdone......

After our rollup we talked for a while with Norm and Eddie.

We enjoyed our time in Texas.

Bingara and Texas - chalk and cheese!
