We're in Simpson for two days on our way to Geelong for Christmas. The bowls club is just a short walk from the reserve where we're staying so we came for a rollup. Simpson is a tiny town of 580 people.
When we arrived we saw Peter (former club and Bowls Victoria President), who we met at Cobden, Vanessa (who we met at Cobden as well and who Jean saw at the shop), Jeff, Gaylene and Ron.
Peter showed us what they do when their honour boards fill up. They take a photo then frame it.
They have a new shed and updated clubhouse. They did a successful fundraising drive.
There's one synthetic green.
Vanessa came out and marked for our rollup.
We started our rollup.
There are nice permanent shades.
We liked the modern score boards.
Jean started out very well.
Mal gave it a go.
Jean was ahead.
After our last end we drew. Mal said we had to do another two ends. First one he got shot. He was very pleased with himself.
Last end he got three. He was over the moon
After our rollup a few more people came to practice.
Simpson - thanks Vanessa for everything!
