Update 1^st of June 2012.

 A special meeting called by Bowls Manawatu last Sunday to discuss and vote on constitution changes seen as necessary to move the game forwards in the Manawatu was washed out due to being unable to raise a quorum.

As one of your delegates and a member of the executive, I was pretty much disappointed not to mention………

Well, I really can’t say it here but the first word starts with P and the last word is off!

Here is a link to an Opinion piece by Peter Lampp from Standard.
