Two good games at Bramble Bay

Jean wanted to come to Bramble Bay because she saw their shirts when she was at Club Pine Rivers the other day. She wants to buy one. We thought we'd try and get a game and if we can't we'll roll up. We're told there's Tuesday afternoon social bowls.

We had a day off yesterday. We drove up to Wild Horse Mountain to catch up with Jean's older sister Alison.

It's a good-sized clubhouse with a high ceiling.

On the electronic Honour Board they seem to have had success in Pennants.

The smoking area looks out over Bramble Bay.

We met John and Terry in the office. Terry got on the phone to find some shirts 👕 for us.

Tom sorted us out.

Jean now has a shirt to replace her Weipa shirt when it gets ratty.

Jean met Robyn, Di and Jude who do bowls coaching for University of the Third Age (U3A). Jean met Robyn at Brighton on Friday.

There are three good grass greens.

We played on the right-hand green.

It's the Jack Baxter Green.

All the seats are donated.

So we're the scoreboards.

There were four games x two. Jean and fifteen blokes.

We played together.

First game was against Ashley and Ken.

Jean did well first end which often happens.

Jean was over the moon with her Toucher. Then Mal consolidated.

Mal was really struggling with weight but he finally worked it out.

It was hard with the tail wind but Mal nailed it. We lost it next bowl though!

We won 11 to 9. Next game was against Barry and Matt.

We weren't having much luck - we were getting flogged then put in a few good ones.

John Edgar the Men's President chatted to Jean. He gave Mal a stubbie holder

and gave Jean a badge for her hat.

We were down nine shots then caught up. We lost by three. We came in for John to do Presentations. We didn't win - there were no two game winners.

We sat and chatted with President John, Terry, Barry and organiser John for ages about Bowls, footy and our adventures.

Bramble Bay - we liked the people!
