Audio Jacks- top Auckland DJs augmenting the ever popular barefoot lawn bowls at the iconic Rocky Nook Bowling Club in Fowlds Park- this Friday!
$20 pp* gets you a relaxed, outdoor Friday evening social where you can join your mates or make some new ones, over great music and lawn bowls in the gorgeous environs of Fowlds Park, Mt Albert.
All bowls equipment- and even coaching- provided.
You can also enjoy a pub meal (vegan options), and few wines and local and Irish ales- at sports club prices- from the Auckland Irish Club Bar & Bistro.
5 minutes’ walk from Morningside Station- leave the car behind- this is a kid-friendly event- with playground and garden bar on site- and free for RNB members.
The main requirement is that any bowlers wear flat soled shoes to protect the greens.
There is no smoking or drinking or children under 12 allowed on the greens. Drinking on the surrounds of the green is fine- especially if it’s our exclusive Jack Attack Pilsner from Urbanaut Brewing.
*$10 for Auckland Irish Club members.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
