Wallerawang - a little rollup at a nice club

When we came through this way a few weeks ago, we didn't stop at Wallerawang because we didn't realise it had a bowls club. The boys at Bathurst told us about it. We added it to our map and drove the 40 minutes from Bathurst for a rollup.

It's a nice little modern club.

Jean found a funny poem about bowls.

There's a lovely garden out the side with a waterfall.

The club has historic pictures of Wallerawang. The staff were very nice and helped us out with information about social bowls. They served drinks professionally.

When we arrived, Denice and Bruce were having a rollup. We chatted for ages about our trip, their planned trip to Norfolk for bowls and bowlers we knew. Denise said she'd heard about us when we went to her club - Portland. Bruce bowls here at Wallerawang.

The club has one reasonably new synthetic green.

It's the NR 'Dick' Bulkeley Green.

It's the carpet kind that Jean likes.

We didn't roll up for very long as it got quite warm. We also didn't keep score - though Jean thinks Mal won. We also forgot to take photos until the last end when Jean gave up and Mal bowled all the bowls down.

We like to support the clubs we visit so we came inside for drinks and a bowl of chips. Jean remarked that it would be a nice place to play if we're back this way.

Wallerawang - perhaps we'll come back for a game when we play at Lithgow next year.
