The Summit and Stanthorpe

THE SUMMIT

We got confused about which Stanthorpe club has bowls on which day. We went to The Summit to see if they had Ladies bowls on Wednesday. Turns out it's Thursday and it was all locked up.

We saw the nice bar from the front door window.

It's all about apples round here!

There's a funny painting on the wall.

There are two nice grass greens.

We couldn't have a rollup so just took photos.

STANTHORPE

When we turned up to Stanthorpe Golf and Bowls we discovered bowls is actually today.

It's a nice little golf focused club. Sharon at the bar helped us out with information.

It was opened in 1976.

Even though it's a golf club there are a few bowls flags up.

Colin looks after social bowls today. It's very cold so it's possible nobody will turn up.

There's one grass green.

There used to be two but one's left fallow.

The shades are permanent.

Because there are only a few of us we didn't have to pay $10. We played together

Against Robyn and John. Colin swung. Stanthorpe is the coldest place in Qld. It was freezing. 11° but felt like 9° with the wind.

First end, opposition Colin had a toucher. Mal directed Jean to come forehand onto it. She did just that for shot.

Then Mal took it.

It happened again. Jean touched

Then Mal took it again.

Jean did another for good measure. Mal decided this time to join her.

With the cold we elected to do only ten ends. Nobody stayed for drinks. We came home.

Stanthorpe and The Summit - a cold, cold day for bowls.
