The Sunday before last (25th May) was the Plateau social event, Bare Foot Bowling, at Manly Rock & Bowl Club. Work has this new system where everyone (if they want to) pays $2.50 a week into a social club kitty and then this goes towards social team building events like this.
I was a bit worried that it would be cold and damp as the weather forecast was not very promising but luckily it drizzled a bit in the morning and then turned into a beautifully sunny day. Despite being called bare foot bowls we were allowed to wear shoes as long as they had completely flat soles with no heel. This I was glad about because I get cold feet very easily and if my feet get cold then the rest of me gets cold – I think I am showing my age!
After taking a while to find a parking space (Manly is horrific for metered or time limited parking, something which isn’t generally a problem compared to the UK) and finally finding the place Mat, Tom and I met up with the others in the club bar. We had drinks and snag sizzlers to start off with while we waited for more of the Plateau crew to arrive.
Not everyone showed up but we finally decided we had better get started and all made our way out onto the green for instruction and a demo as most of us had never played before.
