We rang The Rylstone Club a week or so ago to get permission to park our van in the carpark.
The Manager said "Yes but park at your own risk!" We did and walked over for a rollup.
On our way here Jean discovered there's a bowls club in nearby Kandos. We met Di the bar lady
who told us there are chairs and tables on the green there now. We'll check it out another day. The club is cute. It seems like a local hangout.
With the weirdest toilet we've ever seen! When we were in Orange Bonnie from Mudgee read this blog and rang me to explain. It's for disabled people. Depending on which side the have a disability they use a different loo.
We went outside and Dave was having a rollup. We introduced ourselves and he got a mat and jacks for us. We talked for ages about bowls, our trip and footy. He had lots of knowledge to share.
The green was reeeaaally slow. It took all our muscles to get there.
Mal got two shots. Jean took them out for two.
Mal said "Well if that's the way you are going to play I'll stop drawing!" She wasn't deterred.
Mal was bowling pretty well with a few errant bowls but he put them on when it mattered
We didn't score because the boards were covered so who knows who won. Jean doesn't like to score though because Mal usually wins.
There were some signs on the wall we didn't understand but they seemed a bit tongue-in-cheek.
We came inside to support the club and have a drink and the biggest bowl of chips we've ever seen!
Rylstone Club - a rollup with a mad keen bowler.
Post Script: We visited the Kandos club on our way out. The green is let go and, yes there are chairs and tables on it.
