What a superb Club Championship Day!!
The Club Champion Triples was played on Saturday 2nd Feb for the most part in glorious warm conditions for both the Women’s and Men’s Trophies.
The recent growth of the Club membership was reflected in the turnout of teams involved for both Trophies and the recent upgrades to the Club facilities provided a wonderful backdrop and vantage point for watching the semi-finals and final.
We also witnessed some of our younger members figuring in the finals which also bodes well for the future.
Sandra Hilson, a 3rd yr Junior, skipped the Women’s Champions Team of Eileen Ponting and Nola Glenn to a well deserved close win and 21yr old Dan Markovina skipped the runners-up in the Men’s Division. The Club Mens Champions however, comprised two Junior players, one of whom was the skip. On their way to the win they outplayed two experienced teams largely comprising Senior players.
The Club’s congratulations go to Jason Blackmore and his team of Karl Glenn and Gareth Towler for their fine win.
A great day out in good company and plenty of good bowling on show. What more could we wish for?

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
