Come and try lawn bowls
Our Tawa RSA is running a Community Bowls program this summer and we invite all members of the community to take part.
We invite you to take part by way of a work, family or community team.
Our venue is at 89 Oxford Street Tawa.
The format is 3 players to a team. (Player rotation is welcome as people often have other engagements cropping up.)
At least one player should be a ‘non regular’ bowler. We have a supply of bowls for those who need them. Footwear needs to have flat soles, i.e., no heels.
There is a $15.00 entry fee per team ($5.00 per player) payable each game.
We play this as a league.
Play each evening is 1 game, starting 6.00pm and finishing by 7.20pm The format is ‘Bowls3five’ which is the same format as that shown on television’s Sky Sports channels in November/December each year (usually on a Monday
night!). i.e., 2 bowls per player, per end. 2 sets of 5 ends, followed by a one end ‘tie-break’ if necessary. A ‘power play’ in each set.
Sausage sizzle is served at completion of play.
Scheduled dates, all in 2023, are (all on Wednesdays):-
25 January, 1, 8, 15, &; 22 February, 1, &; 8 (reserve day) March.
Please note your diaries to register a team early in the New Year to allow us time to prepare a draw, order food etc.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
