Hi All. I am staying at the Mclarenvale CP for till the end of July. I would like to get in a couple of games of lawn bowls. The local clubs don’t seem to be open. The weather doesn’t help. I drove up to Torrensville bowls club today as it is undercover and regarded as the top club in Adelaide. It was locked up like Fort Knox. So do the clubs in Adelaide not open for the winter?

I don't know I don't recall seeing the white clad army in winter, seems most of them have migrated north for the winter and are practising up there I've been asked in the past by a couple of friends to play in a friendly competition in summer but I don't think I'm old enough yet for that  |

I know the local bowling club here in Karoonda aren't playing at the moment. I think itsmainly a summer thing.

Hi Frank. They don’t wear white like they used to. And bowling is becoming a much younger sport. Seems the younger ones have games on weekends and evenings. Week days the older folk are staying home

Week days the older folk are staying home I know Sid, just kidding The guys who asked me are the same who have a dart competition in winter and 30 to 50yo, a couple of them are Adam's mates I don't think my back and metal knee would take it now, but when in the RAAF I played carpet bowls on Saturdays |
