FINALLY ...the return of Audio Jacks…
…now with added foodtruck !!
Top Auckland DJs augmenting the ever popular barefoot bowling at the iconic Rocky Nook Bowling Club- this week featuring dice_nz.
$10 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 provided.
You can also enjoy a foodtruck meal from Jay's kitchen and few wines and local and Irish ales- at sports club prices- from the Auckland IRISH CLUB Bar
5 minutes’ walk from Morningside Station- leave the car behind- this is a kid-friendly event and free for under 12's and RNB members. AIS and MARL members 1/2 price!
The main requirement is that any bowlers wear flat soled shoes to protect the greens.
There is no smoking or drinking on the greens. Drinking on the surrounds of the green is fine- especially if it’s our exclusive Jack Attack Pilsner from @urbanautbrewing.
