Notice - 16 dec 08
At the Board executive meeting last night it was agreed that Northern will become a Mates In Bowls partnership club. Mates in Bowls in an initiative driven by Bowls New Zealand to encourage non bowlers to participate in a 4-6 week programme (one evening per week), that will provide coaching, playing and socialising.
The goal of Mates in Bowls is to encourage non bowlers to enjoy a fun team competition run over a series of evenings. The longer term goal naturally is to have players join the club but the emphasis in the short term is to give them an experience on the greens that is casual and fun.
Bowls New Zealand’s commitment to this programme is to provide advertising (they contact local businesses etc), signage and other assistance to help get the programme up and running. Although a lot of the organisation will be done by BNZ, our club will need to provide manpower and assistance during the course of the programme and to this extent we have decided to form a Mates In Bowls committee which will work with BNZ in establishing, setting up and running this bowls programme.
Chris Quinn, Paul Darbyshire and Doug Hayward have volunteered from the Board, and we would like 3 or 4 other club members to join us in this exciting initiative. If you have been considering taking an active part in a club activity but haven’t quite yet got there yet, or you think that this is a worthwhile venture then this could be just the thing for you. It will be a great way to promote bowls and further promote Northern. Please give this serious thought and reply to this e-mail if you are keen or would like further information. A reply before the end of this week would be appreciated.
Check out the Bowls NZ website at www.bowlsnz.co.nz for further information.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Doug Hayward
