​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Message from the President

We are nearly done wrapping up for the year.

Remember: Thursday, 14 May 2026, prize-giving at the club, 5:30pm. Tickets are $10 each. You will need to register at the bar to guarantee a seat for you and your partner. This will be a great night to honour our club members who have achieved.  We have some great entertainment for you.

There is a raffle at the bar for a set of bowls or a bowling bag. Tickets are $20. This is to help support Rohan when he represents New Zealand and Belfast in Australia later in the year.

Congratulations to Maurice Fuller, who has reached the ripe old age of 86.  Well done, Maurice.

It was great to see a good crowd at the club on Thursday night.  Thanks for your support.

Regards, Clappy
