Miller Park (6/23/24)

 

Preston & Tess were off to the beach again for a well-deserved break, so Shirley and I were tasked with the setup of the terrains and the retrieval of the rakes, circles. scoring pegs, umbrellas, extra boules, etc. for the first time in a while.

As luck would have it, though we were diligent about arriving at the park well ahead of the scheduled 1:00 PM start time, we found, to our surprise, that Parks & Rec had installed a lock on the electrical panel box in which our realtor's lock box resides. 

Therefore, we had no access to the key to the storage room where all our equipment is kept.

Shirley was able to save the day by calling park Director William Royston

who, even though it was a Sunday morning, dispatched one of his employees to the park to allow us to retrieve our storage room key. Since the petanque group was only given a single key, our system of using the lock box has worked well for the past four or five years.

We moved the lock box to a bathroom door handle which should provide protection from the weather and still allow us to share the key among responsible members of the club.
