We drove 25 minutes to Winchelsea for a rollup and arrived at 11. There was not a soul there. We found a list for a game of triples that day, we figured it was in the afternoon. We put our names and Mal's number down.
The club has one carpet green.
It had plastic snakes on it as well as an owl and two pussy cats. Gerry from RSL explained that the snakes keep the bats away.
Apparently the bat poo is oily and damages the synthetic surface.
We went for a drive and got some early lunch to fill in time. We came back at 12. Still nobody around. We went for another drive and visited the markets. We walked back at 12:20. There was still nobody there. We figured since there were only nine other names down they decided not to go ahead with the triples match. We didn't want to disturb the snakes so decided not to roll up. We decided instead to scrub our names off the list and go home. We had some things to do at the shops.
Winchelsea - perhaps they'll give us a call anyway.
