When we were in Colac in February this year, we did the two clubs we knew about. On our last day we went into IGA and the lady on the checkout asked us if we'd been to her club - City Bowls Club. We missed it so decided to come back.
We came in and asked if we could have a rollup. The club is nice and modern. It's quite big. The girl at the bar directed us to Luke and Manager Alison.
Luke's been bowling two years and Alison 17 years. They showed us where the mats and jacks were and said we could roll up anywhere.
We were surprised to see four greens.
There are two old grass ones that aren't used now and two synthetic.
We rolled up on the front carpet.
Jean saw two blokes chatting by the green and she asked if one was the Greenkeeper. Grant pointed to "the big guy" Gary. We chatted to them for a while.
We started our rollup. The flag was full bore. The wind was wicked!
Jean bowled first
Then Mal.
Mal took first shot. It was very close!
Then Jean got one
then another. We did a long caterpillar.
Jean was one up on our last end and Mal scored one for a draw.
After our rollup we went to WestCoast Bowls Shop so Jean could buy a bowling arm to use with her left hand to give her painful right arm a rest. She went ok but thinks it will take a while.
Colac City Bowls Club - nice little rollup
