The only place to stay in Miriam Vale is a free camp at the Lions Park with no power and water. We parked the van there and walked our bowls 800m up the road to the Miriam Vale Bowling Club for a rollup.
Jean took a photo of the inside of the club through the window.
Then the outdoor area out the back which looks pretty new.
We started to roll up, Mal was doing well.
Then Kieran turned up to do some work. He saw Mal's Tuggeranong shirt and told us he used to play Hockey for Tuggeranong.
He told us President Bill would turn up soon to prepare the green for District Pairs on the weekend. Bill arrived then and told us the club only has eight members and everything is voluntary.
There's one green, it's very nice - particularly since the members maintain it. It was really nice to roll on - though a little slow. We reckon about ten seconds.
Bill told us we are welcome to park the van at the club. We can use their toilet, power and water - especially since they have many solar panels on the roof. They just had a grant to put them in. We put a $10 donation in the kitty box.
We finished our rollup and raced back to move the van to the club.
Bill asked Mal if he had a measuring tape (not a bowls one). Mal brought it back for them to use.
While we were there, Sandra and Denny arrived to do some work on her computer.
Jean took that moment to take a better photo of the inside of the club.
After they finished marking the green, Mal and the boys had a rollup together.
Jean sat in the outdoor area and worked on her blog.
Mal definitely worked out the weight.
Miriam Vale - thanks so much for your hospitality!
