Jean's been in touch with the club via Messenger and found out they play on Wednesday. We came early to get our names down.
First person we met was Providore Tom.
Tom introduced us to President Alex.
There are quite nice grounds.
And it's all blue - the outdoor area
And the shades
And the kitty box.
Kevin came and asked Jean if she likes the colour scheme. He said he and another bloke painted all the Besa Bricks.
The bar's on an honour system. You choose your drinks and put the money in the till. That's lovely.
There's just one grass green. Kevin said it used to be a Tennis court. The old green was in the carpark. They seem very proud of it. It has eight rinks.
Des and John chatted with Jean about clubs they've visited.
Everyone we came across smiled and said gidday. They were very friendly.
So everyone picked a card and got matched with the same letter on that rink.
Kevin and Jean were 'A' on rink 1.
Again Bob and Nino.
Mal played lead for President Alex.
Against Marion and Fred.
Jean couldn't get the grass. She'd put down what she thought was right but as it slowed down the wind would keep it out
She worked it out, as usual, on the seventh end.
Jean and Kevin were 13 to 4 after 22 ends of 22. We came in for smoko to little boys, baked potatoes, Jatz and dip. Very special. Prepared by Providore Tom.
Back out and Mal was doing ok as well.
He and Alex were up 12 to 5.
Mal and Alex won by ten. Jean and Kevin won by 17.
We came inside for drinks and presentations. The jackpot was worth $100 - shared between four. Alas, we didn't win.
Everyone wished us safe travels and smiled as they said goodbye. We will miss them.
Yaralla - nice people to win with!
