The senior Mens 4s, Ray L, Terry, Peter L & Colin, also managed to come away with the win against Terrace End to finish off Northerns day well. The game was one fit for a final with two ends to go it was all even.
An extra big congratulations go to Peter as this is his 5th Centre title so now qualifies for his gold star. Ray lovie ended the day with his 10th Centre title and adds a Bar to his gold star. Terry managed to get his 5th last weekend in the singles so has now picked up an additional 2 titles.

Club Working Bee - Sunday
Thanks to everyone who turned up to give the club rooms and grounds a good spruce up. Some of you may have already noticed Toms efforts in the carpark fixing the potholes and putting in the new curbing. Thanks heaps to everyone for their effort.
With the National Intercentre and Interclub event being hosted at the club in less than 2 weeks there are always other things that could be done, if you didn't manage to get down and help out I'm sure there will be a chance to help. The club will also need help in the kitchen, setting up greens, markers etc from Thursday 2 April - Sunday 5 April so keep your eye on the board and help out where you can. we have 3 teams playing in the Interclub finals 2nd & 3rd with a few members in the Centre teams playing 4th & 5th. So while helping out at the club at these times you can also watch some great bowls and get behind the clubs teams.
We are a great club, lets show the rest of NZ how proud we are of Northern!

Hospice
A reminder that our yearly hospice tournament and fundraiser is to be held this coming Saturday. More team entries could still be accepted – please sign in your team if you haven’t already done so. We would appreciate any donations of groceries and canned goods for the raffles. Other donated items for the raffles or auction will also be very much appreciated. Your help will ensure that this very worthwhile cause can again benefit from the generosity of Northern members. Please leave donated items and goods at the club or contact Laurie Izod.
Mates in Bowls
We were hoping to run the Mates in Bowls programme towards the end of this season but time has caught up with us so it has been decided to kick off the next season with a six week programme beginning on the first Monday of November and going through to Mon December 7. MIB is a programme designed for non bowlers who enter teams of three and play in an organised tournament over the six evenings.
A lot of the advertising and pre planning is completed with the assistance of Bowls New Zealand. As a club we are committed to providing personnel to help on these evenings with such things as coaching and assisting the non bowlers, setting up the greens, mats, boards etc, running the barbecue and helping in the bar. We will be asking for your help at the beginning of next season.
A presentation by Dennis Toon from Bowls New Zealand is to be held at our club on Thursday March 12 at 5.30pm. This will explain the way in which MIB is organised, and how our club can ensure that it is run successfully. We would like as many of you as possible to attend, as the future of bowls will lie with the new people that we can encourage into the game. See you there
InterClub and Intercentre
Congratulations to all Northern members who represented us at the Zone finals at Gisborne this past weekend. Three of the four Interclub teams ( Womens 1st division and Men and Women’s second Division) were successful in winning their zone final and go forward to the NZ finals which are to be held at Northern and Palmerston North beginning on April 2.
The Manawatu Open Men and Women’s Intercenter teams and the Mens Development team were also successful and will go on to the NZ finals which begin on April 4 also here in Palmerston North.
Remember – Hospice is Northern’s premier fundraising event and we hope to have the same support and success that we have enjoyed in the past. See you there

Interclub - Zone Playoffs
All four teams travelled up to Gisborne on Friday and settled into the motels ready for action on Saturday. With very heavy rain forcast all day Saturday everyone packed their wet weather gear. It rained off and on most of the day but the heavier rain didn't arrive till later in the afternoon.
Division 1 Women won - After only winning 1 game in the first round the girls played hard to get the win.
Division 1 Men 3rd - Only one win in the first round it was going to be hard to pull back. There were a couple of very tight games which could have gone either way but it just wasn't their day.
Division 2 Women won - Going into the last round the team had to win both games and pick up some extra points to pull ahead of the other team. The pairs picked up a good win and increased the differential then the fours team won well and added and extra 9. In the end they won with +6 diff over Te Karaka.
Division 2 Men won - The men were convincing winners and did it in style, not needing to play the last round in the rain.
well done to all the teams, 3 out of 4 teams through to the final is pretty good.
Three teams will now go on to the National Interclub finals which will be played here in Palmerston North Thurs 2 & Friday 3 April.
