Our last Bendigo club was South Bendigo for Nominated Jackpot Pairs on Thursday afternoon.
We were told by Arthur at Strathfieldsaye to get in quick as they had limited space. We went in Wednesday and ours were the last names down. We met Anne Howe and had a lovely chat about the club and its history.
We got there on Thursday and met Maurie who was very welcoming and engaging.
We found out it was two sets of ten ends with a break in the middle. Teams then move to another rink depending on whether they win or lose.
The club has three greens, one is out. The grass is nice.
The middle rink is a small 4-rinker.
We won our first game against Ruth and Kelvin.
(Jean, Ruth, Kelvin and Mal)
We had some nice heads even with the wind.
Our second game was against Pete and Les.
(Len, Pete, Mal and Jean)
The wind was outrageous. Often all the bowls stayed on one side.
The grass kept constantly changing. Jean bowled well despite this. She and Les had a great leads competition.
Mal bowled brilliantly. He did some great weighed shots to take out shot bowl. They had no comeback. We won 14 to 4 but they were very gracious.
South Bendigo - a great send-off.
