Audio Jacks- top Auckland DJs augmenting the ever popular barefoot lawn bowls at the iconic Rocky Nook Bowling Club in Fowlds Park- this Friday!
$20 pp* gets you a relaxed, outdoor Friday evening social where you can join your mates or make some new ones, over great music and lawn bowls in the gorgeous environs of Fowlds Park, Mt Albert.
All bowls equipment- and even coaching- provided.
You can also enjoy a pub meal (vegan options), and few wines and local and Irish ales- at sports club prices- from the Auckland Irish Club Bar & Bistro.
5 minutes’ walk from Morningside Station- leave the car behind- this is a kid-friendly event- with playground and garden bar on site- and free for RNB members.
The main requirement is that any bowlers wear flat soled shoes to protect the greens.
There is no smoking or drinking or children under 12 allowed on the greens. Drinking on the surrounds of the green is fine- especially if it’s our exclusive Jack Attack Pilsner from Urbanaut Brewing.
*$10 for Auckland Irish Club members.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
