Bowls determined to build on success

 

The Nelson Bowling club's centennial year is well under way with both greens better than they have been for some years.

The membership improved with the addition of 12 new members the youngest of these being 13 years old.

The club grounds have never been better and are a credit to club members, the greenkeeper and the gardener.

Three tournaments have been held so far this season and good entries have been received on each occasion.

Arrangements for the Centennial Tournaments are well in hand with entries coming in for all days.  The Twilight Tournament is now full but other tournaments still have room for teams. The Centennial Dinner, now to be held in St Marys Church Hall, will provide a fitting ending to the celebrations with the President of the NZBA, Mr Olly Duckworth in attendance.

The guest speaker will be Mr Gregory Aim, executive director of the Hillary Commission for Recreation and Sport.
Championship competitions are now well under way but several members are requested to get their games played as soon as possible.
