I think it’s important for guys to socialise. Most do that through their work, but when work stops that can stop.

He will fulfill the role of venue technical manager.
Bailey has had a long history in televising sport, which has included four World Football Cups and three Olympics.

Bailey said while joining was initially about learning more about lawn bowls, he fell in love with the sport.
“Joining Bowral Bowling Club was triggered by being offered work on the Commonwealth Games,” he said.
“As the venue technical manager, I didn’t have to know the sport but I wanted to.
“I’m really enjoying Bowral Bowling Club. It’s great meeting new people.”
Bailey said, like many sports, Bowral Bowling Club gives men the opportunity for a regular social connection.
