We met (and drew with) some boys from Buninyong at Victoria Club yesterday. They told us to come on Friday arvo and there'd be heaps of people to bowl with.
They were right. There were people everywhere. Playing comp, rolling up or watching.
Lots of people like to sit on the verandah.
They have two nice grass greens. Very quick.
Brad (from yesterday) introduced us to President Graham (Nico).
He then introduced us to Norm who's been bowling more than 22 years.
Norm told us the club is150 years old. They had the celebration last year.
it's the oldest bowls club situated in a botanical Gardens. It's just lovely.
We convinced Frank and Stuart to play a game with us.

Mal played skip with Frank and Jean played lead for Stewie. We were pretty evenly matched.
In the end it was 9 to 8 Mal and Frank's way.
After the game we met Jeff Douglas who used to live in Holder ACT.

Buninyong - we feel like we met the whole club!
