When we were in this region in March 2023 we did all the clubs around Swan Hill. We met people from Tooleybuc and Manangatang at a tournement at Racecourse club . We didn't get this far north on that trip so came back to check them out. MANANGATANG We drove first out over the border from Tooleybuc to Manangatang - a cute little Victorian club. What a sweet little clubhouse! Outside is a nice shaded area. There's one really nice grass green managed by two volunteer greenkeep

Last time we were in this region in March 2023 we had a roll-up at Kerang . For some reason we didn't come to Kerang Golf while we were here. When we were at Gunbower last weekend we met some folks from Kerang Golf who invited us to the Terry White Chemist Triples tournament on Thursday. It's not really a clubhouse - more like a shed. This is the main golf clubhouse. There's a good under cover area. Jim looked after the money. Everyone stood around for a chat. We popped ba

We've been all around Barham the last few days. When we were at Gunbower the other day they told us Barham has a good Melbourne Cup bowls day so we rang up and got our names down. It's a pretty big club. It's an RSL which amalgamated with the Barham Bowls Club. The bowlers have their own area out the back. Outside is a nice entertaining area with comfy chairs. Garry looked after the money. Mark and Sue managed the Cup sweeps. John Hamilton is from Wakool. He knows Jean's

Pyramid Hill is another tiny Victorian town in the Loddon Shire. It has about 500 people and a beautiful bowling club. We've come today for a rollup. The clubhouse was opened in 1968. It's a little tiny room. Jean first spoke with the very helpful Jan who gave us contacts for Boort Bowling Club. Jan put Jean on to President Marie. Marie was very proud of the PHBC sculpture she arranged. Nearby the old roller sits proudly. We were fascinated by the mural with realistic fig

We were told by our new mates at Cohuna that the folks at Gunbower are great fun. We came to watch Saturday Pennants and maybe roll up. It's a little tiny clubhouse. With a fine array of achievements. The passed members' badges are a nice touch. The club has a small under cover area out front. One of the guys told us about a video of the club that Bowls Vic did: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AEUzf36ct/ There are two nice-looking grass greens. We rolled up on the first

We're very happy to be on our way to north-west Victoria. We've stopped in Cohuna for a roll-up and a home-cooked meal. It's a tiny little country clubhouse. The honour boards are impressive. There are impressive permanent shades. Jean's been talking with Barbara via Messenger. She told Jean there's practice on Friday night and the ladies cook a $10 meal. Jean said " We'll be in that! ". When we arrived Jean called in to see her. Trevor and Ursula served us at the bar. The

We're staying in Mulwala on the Murray for a couple of days. Yarrawonga is a stones throw away across the river. We've come for an evening tournament. It's a tiny little clubhouse with friendly natives. When we were at Yarrawonga-Mulwala Golf on Tuesday, one of the Pennant players told us they have a Wednesday evening tournament. We came to Yarrawonga and met Evelyn who said they are a team short. She found us a third and put our names down. The guys were relaxing after a

Mulwala is on the NSW side of The Murray and Yarrawonga is in Victoria. They are very close to each other. We came to tick off some we haven't done yet.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
