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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
