Update 24^th  October 2012.

Target Bowls.

Just a reminder to you all that Target Bowls which got off to such a good start will be running every Friday evening from now on until just before Christmas. If there is on-going interest and support we will have another series in the New Year. You can participate at any time between 4:30 and 6:30pm. It takes about 40 minutes to complete the 8 rinks and we will pair you up with someone if you are on your own. $5 entry for each round, with 50% of the pool paid out to the winner and 30% for second. The remaining 20% will be kept towards major prizes at the end of the competition. A cumulative record of weekly scores will be kept to determine these winners. From time to time we will have lucky number draws for those participating. There will be good prizes for these draws but you will have to be in attendance if your name is drawn. You are more than welcome to bring a non bowling friend (or two) to take part, and they will become part of the on-going totals if they attend more than once. If we have a large number of non bowlers participating on any particular night (e.g. a corporate social club) then we will run a separate competition for them.

There are two other exciting bowling competitions about to begin and we would like your support in spreading the word about these and helping us recruit participants.

Corner to Corner (sponsored by Grants Whisky)

For the first time in the Manawatu our club will be running this nationwide event which carries a NZ title and promises to be a lot of fun. This is open to all bowlers and we are hoping for a strong participation from Northern members. This weekly competition is to be run on Monday evenings beginning on November 05 and running for 6 consecutive weeks. Further information is to follow – please check e-mails and information to be posted at the club.

Mates in Bowls

We begin our 4^th year of MIB on Wednesday November 7^th. The success of MIB relies on the number of teams that are entered. We need your help to get information and sign up forms to people who you think would like to play and could get a team of three together. Information and sign up sheets are on the long table in front of the main notice-board. Who do you know that might like to give bowls a go – workmates, family, neighbours, friends. Please help us make this another successful MIB season for both the participants and our club by encouraging teams to enter.

Contact President Chris or any Executive member for further information.

Centre Open Mixed 2x4x2

Labour weekend saw the first of the Centre competitions with the Open Mixed 2x4x2 being played on our greens.

The weather on Saturday was pretty good but it went downhill from there.

The Final  between Barry Wynks and Sharon Sims was not played on Monday due to the conditions and will be played at some other time yet to be decided.

Below are a couple of pics from the event.
