Winter is here, so Winterclub must be around the corner!
Wacky Wednesday at Indoor Bowls
New Lynn's very own Simon Poppleton aka the Joker
It has been Wacky Wednesday today at the National Indoor Bowls Championship being played out in New Plymouth this week.
That meant many ditched the club polo for a cape and tights, makeup or fancy wig.
More than 500 bowlers from around the country have descended on New Plymouth to compete across four disciplines at the sport's blue ribbon event.

Better Bowler
The 'Better Bowler' videos are a new initiative from the Bowls New Zealand coaching group for the benefit of the entire bowling community.
In them, we sit down with some of our best bowlers and pose questions to them - just as you would if you had the chance to do so in a bowling club.
They're short, sharp and contain pearls of wisdom left, right and centre.
So, how do you like your bowls?
That was a question the Operations Committee of Bowls Auckland was tasked with finding the 'perfect' answer in order to prepare for the 2023-2024 season. Of course, nothing is perfect, so they failed in that brief.
If you ask 100 people the questions that were sent out to clubs and players, you’ll probably get 70 or more variations on a theme. Bill won’t agree with Fred, who won’t agree with Anne, and Jo disagrees with the lot of them, and so it goes on.
It is fair to say there has been a bit of griping about the calendar over the last couple of years, but on first inspection, this one looks likely to please more than it annoys. The most obvious feature is that there are no major events on long weekends, allowing clubs that traditionally host long-standing tournaments a free run on those dates.

As one season draws to a close, there's another season planned to take its place. It's a good time to get your calendars out to schedule what and when you are going to play - there's something for everyone! |

Kohi's 2-4-2Tuesday's 2-4-2 with sunshine was almost too good to be true! Just saying...Bev arranges the best weather for Tuesdays at Kohi - 4 for 4 so far! Winter sunshine with a mild nip, but worth the extra layers to win the Pak'n'Save prizes! Four dates remain.

PBA progamme continues
Potters Weekend in New Plymouth & Hastings: Scottish Singles in Wellington
The New Zealand PBA programme continues this weekend with ‘Potter’s Weekend’ in New Plymouth and Hastings as players compete to represent New Zealand at the World Indoor Singles or Pairs at Potter’s Leisure Resort in Norfolk, England in January. And PBA qualifiers begin in Wellington with a Ranking singles tournament and a qualifier for the Scottish Singles.
The World Indoor Pairs qualifiers this year will revert to 2-bowl pairs as the World Bowls Tour moved back to 2-bowl rather than 3 bowls per player while New Zealand was absent during the Pandemic.
