Bannockburn - rollup at a nice neat club

We've had a few days off over Christmas. We had a lovely lunch with Laura, Dwi and Zeke. Now it's Wednesday and we're busting for bowls. We came to Bannockburn for a rollup.

We met Greg who's been bowling just 7 months

He helped us with mats and jacks.

Jean peeked inside. The clubhouse is still decked out for Christmas. Mal said he liked that it's neat with a nice feel. "It's like we could come back any time!"

There's a tankstand painted with bowlers.

And a nice verandah under cover.

Jean remarked that it would be a nice place to come for a tournament.

We were intrigued by the English Lion boxes. They have chairs in them.

There are two different synthetic greens. The old one is out the front.

It's plastic.

There is the obligatory fake wildlife to deter birds.

We rolled up on the new one.

It's carpet.

Jean was having a good time with her new bowling arm. She took first blood.

And again.

Mal was struggling with weight initially.

Then he got his groove back.

Going into the second last end it was Jean six and Mal three. He got two. Jean said "You only need one to draw!". Jean then put down her best bowl of the day.

Bannockburn - perhaps we'll return one day for a tournament.
