We came to Richmond Club to park our caravan for four nights to do some of the Blue Mountains clubs. Today it's Richmond Bowling Club.
The bowlers have a little area adjacent to the main club entrance where they can congregate or bowls before the club opens.
We came in and met Nancy and Anne at the table.
The club has one and a half greens. A three-rink green
And the main green.
The J.A.Smith green.
It's an RSL so there's a nice memorial garden under the flagpole.
We drew sticks for teams.
Jean played lead with, Carmen and Ron.

Against Farren, Mary and Chris.

It was three rinks of three-bowl triples. Sixteen ends.
Jean nailed it first end. The green was slow. Carmen, a new bowler, came in and consolidated. We kept one shot.
Then on end three so did Mal.
Jean had a lot of fun joking around with the ladies.
Mal's team was up. He kept putting in good bowls. Mal won and Jean got creamed!
Roger the Bowls Organiser went on a hunt for a badge for Jean's hat.
He found one. It's very nice.
We came in to the coffee shop afterwards for more chatter.
Richmond Club - bowls and banter!
