We put our names down the might before. We drove from Ulladulla but got stuck in traffic at Milton. We arrived right on 9:30. They were very accommodating. There was only one game so they rewrote the card for a triples game. Mal played skip with Liz (lead) and Helen. Jean played lead with Barb and skip John. We had a really enjoyable game. Played 20 ends and Mal's team won 21-18. John's team was way behind but came back and could have won with a full count on the last end. Nearly did it. Had 7 but Mal upset the apple cart. We had a lovely lunch with our people and the girls who played a triples comp next to us. Fantastic company, interesting conversation. Thanks Lake Conjola!

We drove to Club Jamberoo today for a game of bowls. When we got there, we told them about our trip around Australia to play in every club. They insisted we take a photo of us with all the players. There were only 18 players so we had three games of triples. Mal and I were put with our Skip Barry who is apparently a really good player. He lived up to his reputation. We played against Bob, Warwick and Martin (Irish). Unusually, everyone played really, really well. The whole game the margin was only a couple of points. We led the first half, then they got a four and moved ahead. At end 18 it was 18-18 so we decided to play two extra ends. We got a 5 and a 2 which won us the match. We also won the money (and gave it to our opponents). We had a fantastic game. Great weather, great company and terrific bowls. Thanks Jamberoo!

This was the first club we visited on our journey. It was a Tuesday, so usually Ladies day. I rang up at 9:35 to get my name down for 10 and was told they were already out on the green. What I didn't know was that they were playing Pennants. No social bowls! Still, they said we were welcome to roll up, which we did. Mal and I had a game of singles. The green was very slow and one side quite narrow. He beat me 26 to 13 (darn it!) The best part was that the people who were there to watch Pennants helped us out and told us where to go and where equipment was. When we were done they asked us how we went and were very engaged with us. They were very friendly and listened intently to our stories of our planned travels. What friendly people!
