Get your mates together for Twilight Bowls!
UPDATE:
Sadly, due to Covid Level 3 restrictions on gatherings it's unfeasible to hold this event. All teams will be offered a refund, or they can chose to roll their registration over to the Raumati (Summer) series- 19/1-23/2. Team skips will re ceive an email withmore information.
We will continue to look for opportunities for a limited, or even one-night, tournament before Christmas and all registrants will get advance notice.
Stay well, get vaccinated if you're able, me ka kite ano

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
