We met EVERYBODY at Charlestown!

A couple of years ago, after she studied Sports Psychology at uni, Jean did some sessions with bowlers around the country. One of them was Jodie Turner. Jodie saw Jean was in Zone 2 and got in touch for a rollup. We're going to drive a bit further than usual to meet at Charlestown today.

We arranged a rollup with Jodie at 10:30. It was raining in Morisset so we weren't hopeful but we went anyway.

We met Jodie at the door and she introduced us to CEO Michael. Jean wore her Millthorpe shirt and Michael said he's from there.

It's a big club.

The honour board is huge.

The club has a great outdoor area.

by the old green. It's synthetic but they don't play on it often as it's old.

Jodie explained they are the Tigers.

They have these little Tiger Emblems for each grade. If they win the stay upright.

There are two beautiful carpet greens under cover. They've been in since July last year.

There's a nice viewing area alongside the greens.

Jodie's Dad George came to roll up with us.

Jodie introduced us to Denise.

Jodie actually introduced us to everyone. Paula and Terrie-Ann came to say hi.

Daniel the Bowls Organiser has been following our adventures online.

Mal was envious and wanted a photo with him.

There was a Ladies' Gala going on on the first green. We played on the other. Mal and Jean against George and Jodie.

The surface is Jean's favourite Tiger Turf.

Jean loved it!

Mal was on the mark as well.

It started out we were up six-zip then they caught up with 5.

Jodie had shot then Mal drew inside her.

Then we had two and Mal took out George's blue bowl for three.

It ended up we won 10 to 5. Main thing is we had a lovely time. Jean was surprised she bowled so well - though it's her favourite! We only played eight ends as Jodie had to leave but we used the fancy electronic scoreboard.

It automatically adds up the scores for Pennants on the big board.

It was great to finally meet Jodie in Person. What a host she is! She showed us her special Charlestown drink bottle.

Jodie arranged for Damian to give us Charlestown shirts. We loved them!

We felt very welcome at Charlestown.
