There had been overnight rain and to most of us, we thought that the greens would not be available for Business House last night. I was quite surprised to see no sign of water on the cotula green and only a little on the Dales surface. When I arrived at about 5.30pm, some players were already loosening up for the …

This really is just a piece to test our something I found out today regarding getting this blog into the web site. It was a lovely afternoon for our roll-up and two of our members got themselves organised, as can be seen in the photo. I think they were calling for long ends all the time so that they could …

It was the last end, the score was very close, when up stepped Colin. He must have known it was time for him to shine and that is exactly what he did. A long end but no problem getting up to the head (this time) and he drew right to the Jack, not just once but twice. He really earned …

See results by clicking – KCBC Web Margaret MacKay went on to reach the last 4 but was then beaten by the eventual winner, Audrey Stevenson from Paraparaumu Beach Club. Wednesday saw our four …

Sunday, January 16, 2011 It was a long but successful day for the club yesterday with its teams playing in the Interclub Final at Paraparaumu Beach Bowling Club. It meant an early start for us having to get there and be ready for trial ends and a start of games at 8.30am but all was well, the sun was shining …

Entries had been received very early and both greens will be filled with 32 teams of non-bowlers. Our organiser, Brian Cooper welcomed all the players and outlined briefly how the evenings will be run and then it …

At lunch time yesterday at the Mixed Triples Gala at our club, it seemed that a common question around where I was sitting was ‘How are you going’, and the common answer was ‘one and one’.  Strange, as usually there is sat least one team with two wins after the morning’s play. Perhaps they were sitting well away from our …

Great today to see two members taking time to roll the cotula green, both new to the job and it is something that will help spread the load. Stafford had already rolled the green when Omeka asked for a chance to practice his skills. Agreed to and off went Omeka showing he was equally skilled as Stafford. We again had …

Click Manakau Photos to view pictures taken Manakau Bowling Club Another round of the Horowhenua 5’s took place this afternoon at the Manakau green and by the end of play, our team won their Fours and Pairs but lost both the Singles and Triples. I watched quite a bit of the play and was interesting to see how the green …

A hot afternoon for today’s rounds of Rotary played at the RSA and at our Levin Club. Joe Johnson, our selector for this competition, had got the teams selected, two playing at the RSA and the other two at our home club. The new Dales carpet was used this afternoon and was a new experience for most of the visiting …
