Come and try lawn bowls

Tracey from Tawa

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.
For further information, please contact

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
