Many of us were at home, awaiting the call that the Mixed Fours Winter Championship was again postponed but, no call came. Perhaps it really wasn’t too bad; on my way to the green, I passed a couple out for a walk with their baby in a pram, the husband well wrapped up for the drizzle that was falling, the …

As can be seen by the Icon, lots of rain has fallen overnight and the decision was made early this morning to postpone play in the Mixed Fours Championship, and the hope is that tomorrow will be fine enough to  get the competition under way. Members have received from the Executive, information for next week’s AGM. This is great as …

What once was a quiet time of the year for bowls now sees plenty of activity both on and off the green. Another fine Thursday saw another good turn out for the afternoon roll-up. You wouldn’t call it tropical even though the sun was out for the early part of the afternoon and it certainly became quite cold near the …

By all accounts, the Queen’s Birthday Mixed Pairs Gala was a very successful event and the club thanks all who took part in organising the 2 day event, and those who took part. I wasn’t able to view any of the play but have been told that a full green of 16 teams took part with the players coming from …

It was such a beautiful afternoon for bowls today and all who played in the Roll-up, I’m sure enjoyed themselves. Good to see our Associate Members joining us as well and I was told by one of them, how much they noted the improvement to the green. We all appreciate the game of bowls and it was interesting to see …

Last end and the scores were level. Joe and Lodzia held the winning shot and my last bowl was crucial. On its way it went but I quickly released that it was too narrow, so I turned and walked to the bank. Then I heard something that made me turn and look back up the green. There was my partner, …

Noon start with a good turnout of teams. Weather looked a bit threatening and it was pretty gloomy by the end of the third game. For a change, the games were played north and south – not sure that this ways runs as well as east and west.  Could be that it needs more play to get it run in. …

Over the weekend we have had a most enjoyable visit from the Wellington Workingmen’s Bowling Club. Saturday afternoon saw the two clubs play bowls together; a social time with players in mixed teams, mixing well. This was also a chance for the visitors to try out our new Dales green. All seemed very pleased by the way their bowls ran …

It is with great regret that I have to tell you of the passing of Mollie Wilson, an Honorary Member of our club and we offer our condolences to Fenton and the boys. Mollie joined the Levin West Bowling Club which was part of our Levin Bowling Club, joining up with husband Fenton who became a member the year before. …

The big wind kept away this afternoon and we were able to play our 3 games in this week’s gala in good conditions – a bit cool with a touch of snow on the Tararuas. After the first two rounds, there was only one team with two wins and it went on to win the gala with a third. Congratulations …
