Onto the artificial green this morning to see if Fred and my team could qualify with a win in our games against the two teams which had already done so. Fred, Rex, Murray and Omeka were up against Neville, Dave, Shoota and Keith and got a point on the first end. A single shot on an end became the main …

Overnight and morning rain put off the start of the matches until Noon today. The cotula green was still flooded so games were held on the Dales Green. Six teams were entered and because of the late start, games were reduced to 15 ends with the hope that three rounds could be played. By the end of the second round, …

A 12.30pm start today for the final day of Rotary. Bother greens were ready and even though the weather was threatening, games got under way. Light showers and wind  joined in the games but at least the first game of 10 ends was completed. It didn’t take long to make the cotula green start to puddle as heavy showers arrived …

It had to come to an end and today was the day. Starting 6 weeks before Christmas, the Grant’s Corner to Corner competition continued in the New Year and today was the last chance to find the overall winner.  Names were taken by Eileen from those who wanted to enter tonight and when 5.00pm arrived, Margaret MacKay got the competitors …

The weather was fine for this special weekend, but unfortunately, not me. Just not well over the weekend but I was able to be at the club for the Official Opening. Saturday afternoon opened with a good turnout of members and visitors and with 2.00pm arriving, President Ken Hayward welcomed all and gave an outline of the preparation and work …

The quake and devastation in Christchurch is on the mind of all people and the club observed a period of silence yesterday before the start of Business House Bowls. Financial donations have also been made and will, in due course, be sent to the city. The second round of the BH competition took place last night, again in real summer …

Just what are Omeka and Ian doing. They seem to be caught between two posts with some legs as a background. Further investigation showed what I suspected, club members at the green on a Monday morning, doing jobs around the place as needed. I suspect that very few members have looked behind the clubrooms and if they had tried, they …

Tonight saw the start of the Business House competition in earnest. Teams have been sorted into either of the two divisions, 1 or 2, depending on their results up to now.  There seemed to be no notable changes in style or effort, still the urge to do well, have fun and enjoy the game. It is hoped to have a …

For 30 years our club has been privileged in receiving sponsorship for our Women’s Annual Gala from Steeds Pharmacy, and continues to be much appreciated. A little disappointing that the green was not full but we did have teams join us from Central Levin, Foxton Beach, Manakau, Levin Women’s and Waitarere Beach and this helped add to the fun and …

Our Men’s and Women’s Pennant teams played at the Levin Central Club today, and the results weren’t too good overall. Our two women’s teams lost both their morning and afternoon games as did the men’s A Team. Going against the trend was the Men’s B Team which won both their games against Waikanae. Congratulations to them on their effort. I …
