Jean's been in touch with Carmel from Beaufort for a few weeks. Carmel told her about Thursday night Barefoot Bowls. Mal doesn't like Barefoot but we are desperate for a game after all our rollups.
As we arrived Carmel came up and welcomed us.
We met Graeme in the outdoor bar.
We all stood around for drinks while we waited for the President to arrive.
Including Stuart and Ken.
They used to have two greens but Green B is now the carpark.
They now have a nice, big synthetic green with ten rinks.
The shelters are named for old bowlers.
Rohan the President turned up.
Edmund the Treasurer took our money.
There were two games - a game of fours and a game with seven. They were all very sociable and welcoming.
The fours were Mal, Ron, Viv and Les
against Carmel, Jean, Rohan and Ken.
Jean's team won the first end then second end Mal put in a great bowl.
Bowling South the wind was fierce. We had to practically bowl at the jack. Jean nearly got it then Ken came in and knocked out shot to bring her in for two.
Jean rolled a really short end which suited her to the ground and nobody else.
It was a draw until Ron pushed Rohan's bowl up for two and a win for Rohan's team. We went up the path for a nice barbie cooked by Carmel's hubby Pete.
