Skippy - The only thing I dislike about it is the whites.
I find it all very humorous Jean, people take it so seriously, I think you're allowed to wear white pants if you prefer them to the skirts ? I like to watch the world championship bowls on the TV from the Warilla club, they wear multi coloured clothing when playing those games.
Oh, I never take it seriously! I only play in friendly games for the fun and social side of it. Some clubs over here have have part colours. Our club tends to stick to whites for matches because we are in Windsor and our club is en-route from the tourist car park to the castle, so we are constantly having our photos taken by the tourists. It also encourages them to come in and watch - had lots of Aussie players come in and chat too.
As for white trousers - stretched large bum over short fat legs? Don't think so hun - but lots of our ladies to do wear them.

Hi Jean, hee! I recently saw advertised somewhere at one of the bowls clubs that you don't have to wear whites, can't remember which one it was though! The Aussies are pretty laid back about most things so i don't think they would mind! My dad plays bowls, maybe they could join you for a game when you get here! I have also sent you a PM Jean. Kind regards, Donna
Yes, I think a lot of the clubs over there are pretty laid back, I know my father in law only wears whites for big competitions. It'll take a while for it to happen over here - not until the old old fogies are replaced by we younger old fogies.
Look forward to a game with your parents.
Jean

Drove past the Berkley Sports & Social Club today, which is on the northern side of Lake Illawarra, many people were playing bowls there, but not many were wearing whites, so there you go Snowball, ha ha.
Hey skippy and all those in oz..what is the weather like over there at the moment? only its not so good here...again...!! LOL.
Nice and sunny here & 20 deg today RVN, showers forecast from Sunday arvo until goodness knows when, Meggs & family are arriving sometime this week for a reccie, so hopefully the forecast works out the same as it did for you, it forecast rain then also.
It's the first day of Winter tomorrow, so spare a thought for us unfortunates that will have to put up with temps below 20 deg. ha ha.
Grey sky and 16 deg today, so Winter has started, I'm going to hibernate for 3 months now, I hate wearing long pants and jumpers, at least we don't have to clear the drive of snow to get the cars out, ha ha.
