Bowls at Miller Park pub!

We drove to Miller Park after our successful game at Denman. It's a bowling club at a pub.

Jean's been in touch with Faye from here. She told us there's no social bowls but we're welcome to roll up. The place definitely has a pub feel - though modern.

The life members are on the wall.

Jean asked Carly the bartender about the green story. She said the Miller Park Bowling was owned by Greta Workers. Greta sold it because it was losing money. A local named Dale McNamara bought it and fought hard to reopen it as an establishment.

Dale rebuilt the building as a pub and put in a plastic synthetic green.

The bowler's came back and call themselves 'The Phoenix'. Back from the dead.

They have a Pennants team which has had success in the three years its been open.

It's an unusual Pennants scoreboard.

Mal wanted a beer before our rollup. He sat and discussed bowls tactics with Kiwi Dazz. Dazz was the Greenkeeper for eight months.

Everyone was interested in Jean's Gulgong shirt 👕.

Dazz joined us in our rollup for a few ends. Jean went first as usual.

She did ok once she worked out the grass.

Mal had his go then Dazz.

His grass was good.

Almost perfect!

Jean got cross when Mal placed Dazz' bowls around the jack. She wanted to get a photo of her shot bowls. She threw hers down in anger and managed one accidentally.

We came in and had a drink in the pub.

Who's heard of bowls at a pub - they have in Miller Park.
