Yes - a game at North Albury
We're in Albury for a couple of days on our way to the NSW Central Coast for a party. We stopped in at North Albury Bowling club on Saturday and found out they have social bowls on Sunday morning. We put our names down. We liked the 'Life Members Bar' in the clubhouse. Former committees adorn the wall. There's a little outdoor area off to the side. Hard to catch the Hoppers flag! Frank's Retreat has lots of good plaques. There are two nice grass greens. This is the top gree

Joined the Panthers at Lavington
We left Victoria this morning on our way north for a party on the NSW Central Coast. We've stopped in Albury for a couple of days before heading home for a day. The first Albury club we came across was Lavington. It's a Penrith Panthers club. We checked out the little clubhouse. With the past Presidents above the bar. There are two grass greens. Pennants was happening on the bottom green. It was running really fast Mal said. The top green is nice. It's the Frank Tracey G

Tiny St James
We're on our way north for an 80th birthday party for Jean's first cousin once removed (in law). We've stopped in to the teeny tiny town of St James to see the Bowls club. FRIDAY Wikicamps told us we could camp in the back of the pub next door but it was abandoned and all locked up. We asked at the bowling club and they said we could camp out the back. We had a great view of the silos. Inside the club is a fantastic brag wall. The ladies in 1974 had great success. There's

Now to Footscray Park
We're in Melbourne for just a couple of days for some medical appointments. Between appointments we decide to check out a couple of clubs. Both were closed. The first was Footscray Park with a little visit to Flemington-Kensington where we'd been before. We saw the clubhouse through the window. There's a long under cover verandah. It has two grass greens. The new Footscray Hospital sits behind the green. It's named for the Dawson Family. The other green has a very long na

Fun at Tarwin Lower
We popped in to Tarwin Lower when we were in Gippsland in January this year. But it was all locked up. They told us via Messenger that we could park our caravan there so we've come back for a camp and a roll-up. We found a nice spot to camp by the clubhouse. It's a nice little clubhouse with a cuppa always on. It was opened in 1990. Achievements are proudly displayed. There's a good outdoor entertainment area. Jean's been talking with Dave on Messenger. He met us when we ar
