Penrith Bowling and Recreation Club is the third on our Blue Mountains run. We rang yesterday to put our names down and got up early to miss peak hour traffic.
We arrived super early and it was all locked up. We found Craig the Greenkeeper
who asked his workmate David to open the gates for us.
The club has three nice-looking grass greens.
W met Greg and club President Anne in the office.
It's the 'Don Davis Memorial Mayhem Room'
Barbara, Sandra and Sherylyn set up the morning tea.
It's a nice little clubhouse.
Mal chatted with Alec about Pennants and shirts!
Jean sat with the ladies.
They gave us nice bookmarks.
They have lots of people turn up. They fill two greens.
Dizzy who's the Men’s organiser went looking for some souvenirs for us.
He gave us scorecards, pens, cloths and badges.
Jean skipped for Tania (though it was 2-4-2).
Against skip Sherylyn and partner (Jean forgot her name)
Mal played with Mick
Against John and he thinks it was Aldo but knew him as Grasshopper.
Jean played some cracker bowls but because it was pairs was too distracted to take photos of the best ones.
Mal said his opponent Grasshopper had the same bowls as him. Same colour and everything. He said " Every time he put one on the kitty, I had to try to take it off!"
Jean and Tania had a great game. Tania's only been bowling a couple of years but when she needed to put one of her Fruit Tingle bowls in she did!
Jean and Tania won (Jean forgot the margin) it was like 20 to 14.
Mal also won, by five. He said "Talk about a battle and a half!" He really liked the blokes he played with.
We came inside for drinks and had a pleasant chat.
