The Hibiscus Bowling Club from the Hibiscus Retirement
Village at Buderim visited the Maleny Bowls Club
on a sunny but extremely windy day on July 10th, 2005.

The Hibiscus leisure village at Buderim have a great way
to spend some quality time - their monthly game of bowls.

The difference between this club and a regular bowls club is
that the Hibiscus Club has no green of their own as they are
happier travelling around the state to play on other club's greens.

With their own comfortable coach to travel in there is
no great mystery why their club is so popular.

For a good game of bowls they will travel where ever their desire takes them.

They have become regular visitors to the Maleny Bowls Club
and have already pencilled in their next visit.

Photo above shows that from whatever angle all bowlers took the game to heart.
Enjoyable as it may be all players were aware that a "sheep station" was up for grabs.

Who said that it was not being taken seriously.....

The high winds took a toll, not only on the bowling but on the comfort zone....

A section of the green shows that the visit was a popular day for a great game of bowls.
