We came to City Memorial Bowling Club (the big one) on Thursday to find out about Saturday social bowls, we met a bloke who told us it's not on because of Pennants. He told us to turn up for a rollup on Monday Morning .
Ewan (board member) Mal and Brian had a chat. They were full of information about the club.
We saw that non-members are supposed to pay $10 for a rollup. Given at most clubs one pays $5-$10 for a full game we thought that was outrageous. We wouldn't have minded paying a couple of bucks to help pay for the covers.
Unusually the club has four synthetic greens. One oldish looking one out the side.
Three others including two under cover. We're told the covers cost $3 million.
We bowled on the front green.
It's the carpet Jean likes.
The seats are nice and donated by members.
First bowl down Mal was on it.
Next end Jean got two.
Jean met Pam and Sandra who are new bowlers and loving it.
Sandra asked Jean why she didn't have purple bowls to match her stick and outfit.
The head looked tight until we got up there.
We only did a few ends. Mal won but Jean had the last laugh.
As we were leaving we met Keri, Paul and Jan.. Paul and Jan moved to Warrnambool recently from Melbourne and took up bowls.
$10 PUT YOU OFF !!!
