When we were out and about at Pennants on Saturday we met Jerry from RSL and told him about our experience at RSL. He said "You need to ring me, I'll look after you". He was so nice we decided to break our golden rule and come back.
There were seven rinks of triples. We played three games of ten ends. 35 blokes and seven women. It was three games of two-bowl triples. See my other post for a description of the green.
We said hi to Gerry again then we met Mal Quick - older brother to Jim Quick who Mal played with at Tuggeranong Vikings.
Our team was Jean lead with Rick Killick second and Mal skipped.

First game we played Leslie Gerry, and Gerry.

Mal and Jerry had a real skip tussle. Jean got two shots Leslie took them off her then Rick came in and moved the cat back for three. Jerry then came in and drew shot. We lost by four over all.
Second game against Pat, Rosemary and Ian.

Rosemary skipped, Ian led.
Good drawing by all. Last end we were four down. Mal came in and took shot then Rosemary took it off him. Mal came in with his second bowl and took the cat back for three. We won 14 to 2. (Nobody knew what I meant when I called the Jack 'The Cat'. It must be a Ballarat thing.)
Third game we played against Rob, Jock and Brian. Mal stood in front of the sign for the local Labor member.
We started out well - won the first two ends. Then they got a couple on us. Rick bowled like a champion all three games. We had some heads where the shot changed several times. We were two up on the last end then scored a five. We won 14 to 7.
Everyone came and chatted with us during and after the game and asked questions about our trip. It was lovely.
Geelong RSL - we're glad we returned.
