Get your mates together for Twilight Bowls!
UPDATE:
Sadly, due to Covid Level 3 restrictions on gatherings it's unfeasible to hold this event. All teams will be offered a refund, or they can chose to roll their registration over to the Raumati (Summer) series- 19/1-23/2. Team skips will re ceive an email withmore information.
We will continue to look for opportunities for a limited, or even one-night, tournament before Christmas and all registrants will get advance notice.
Stay well, get vaccinated if you're able, me ka kite ano

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!

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.
