Happy Easter to all those who celebrate this weekend! Whether you observe this holiday or not, may you have a safe and enjoyable time with those dear to you. Take time to savour the simple pleasures, like indulging in a sneaky chocolate egg or two, and embrace the spirit of renewal and hope, that Easter brings.
Kia orana Rarotonga Bowling Club
When we popped along to Carlton Cornwall on Wednesday, the club was lively with 36 members of the Rarotonga Bowling Club on the greens, buzzing with excitement! Jess MacKinven, Club Treasurer & Secretary for Carlton Cornwall said, "Hosting Rarotonga Bowling Club is like adding a dash of hot sauce to your morning coffee – spicy and exhilarating! Their infectious energy has brought vibrancy to the club... it’s going to be an amazing couple of days.” The two-day competition began with a Triples format, followed by a 2-4-2 Pairs format on
Thursday. But it's not just about who's got the best draw; it's about creating friendships and having fun, along the way. We look forward to hearing more about this challenge!
