We took the 16 minute drive from Rockbank to Bacchus Marsh . We knew there were no games so decided to roll up at both clubs.
AVENUE
The first club we visited was Avenue Bowling Club. It's named aveter 'The Avenue ' it sits on.
Jean peeked through the glass to see the clubhouse. It looks nice.
Unusually it has permanent shades.
And a bowler shows wind direction.
There was a Baker's Delight clock we thought Mal's brother Michael would like.
We met Yvonne and Lyle who are members at Bacchus Marsh who are rolling up at Avenue. They told us Bacchus Marsh members play here.
Yvonne told us this and Bacchus Marsh used to be one club decades ago but they split. She said they are about to re-amalgamate in a state-of-the-art facility. We might come back for that.
The club has two synthetic greens.
We rolled up on the front green.
It's The Lionel Simpson Green.
We were one all then Jean got a four.
Last end Mal caught up a bit but not enough. 5-3 Jean's way. We tried then to go for a rollup at Bacchus Marsh.
BACCHUS MARSH
It's just a few blocks away from Avenue to Bacchus Marsh Bowling Club. We wanted to roll up but alas it was all locked up.
We managed to look through the fence to check out the two greens.
Yvonne said the front one is better.
We saw on the door that they are the Bushrangers.
