Bourne to Win Tuesdays
Indoor sports, a warm bar, and questionable skills — it’s where grown-ups go to play indoors on a winter Tuesday.

Indoor sports, a warm bar, and questionable skills — it’s where grown-ups go to play indoors on a winter Tuesday.
Forget the couch, skip the Netflix scroll, and come where the lights are on, the bar’s open, and the competition is... mildly competitive.
Every Tuesday from 4pm to 8pm (and sometimes later), Eastbourne Bowling Club becomes your winter hideaway – warm, relaxed, and full of low-stakes, high-fun competition.
There may be no medals, but there’s pool, darts, cards, indoor bowls, bar snacks, and the occasional victory dance that probably shouldn’t happen. Come for a quiet pint, stay for a showdown at the dartboard, or challenge someone to chess and pretend it’s tactical genius, not luck. And yes, we do laugh at people trying to get up off the indoor bowls mat.
The bar’s open, the snacks are out, and the doors are open to everyone – members, locals, newcomers, and anyone just looking for something to do on a Tuesday.
WHERE
Eastbourne Bowling Club – 179 Muritai Road
(Down the right of way opposite Muritai School)
WHEN
Tuesdays from 4pm – 8pm
(or until someone demands a rematch)
No need to book. No need to bowl. Just show up.

Why it pays to compare plans

Did you know over 90% of New Zealanders who compare power plans find savings—often around $400 a year? Comparing power plans is quick and easy with a free online tool—it takes just five minutes and won’t disrupt your supply. A simple switch could lead to real savings. Click here to compare
To save more, match your power plan to your lifestyle. If you're home during the day, a 'time of use' plan could cut costs by using power during off-peak hours. Tailoring your plan to your routine helps keep more money in your pocket.
Head to the Electricity Authority’s website, where they offer free tools to help you compare and switch plans with ease. With so many New Zealanders already saving up to $400 a year, there’s no reason to wait. Smart power choices start here, and the benefits can last all year long.
Take charge of your electricity costs and see how much you could save today. You might just wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.
