Have a great one!
Happy Father’s Day!
Wishing all the Dads, Grandads, Father figures and Dads to be a wonderful day.
We are rolling into summer at Kohi Bowling Club.
Sport has always been a great way for families to bond. Our Lawn Bowls 101 course, Oct 1, 8, 15 welcomes the family to have a go together, or take up something just for you! This course is perfect for beginners as well as for those who enjoy our social bowls (Wednesdays starting 18 Oct) and want to brush up so you can jump right in this summer. Or maybe your holiday work party is at a bowls club and you really want your skills to sparkle!

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.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
