South Island's first development only bowls tournament a hit for Timaru

The response to a new Timaru-hosted lawn bowls tournament for development only players across NZ has...Well done great innovation for this new event---All the best to all the participants & organisers
I was supposed to be going down tomorrow along with 3 other bowlers but covid put that to bed😞
Great to see. However, the United BC probably held the first tournament for junior bowlers before development came along. They use to hold a very successful junior invitation singles tourney in the 80s & 90s.

Bowls Revival at Club Waitarere
bowlsnewzealand.co.nz
Find below a great little article written by Club Waitarere and shared with us by Bowls Kapiti What ...Played in an extended tourny there a few years ago, they didn't have Sky TV and thought it funny the Aucklanders couldn't watch the Warriors 🤣🤣 ..... really great club though, maybe they have Sky now 🤔
Well done Janet Oliver and Club Waiterere, neighbours to Foxton and Beach Bowling Club.
My late grandfather Bob Skilton was a past president at Waitarere Beach, and he was a great advocate for coaching new players, and encouraging it to be ‘the little club that could’. He would be so thrilled to know that it is going through a resurgence now thanks to the efforts of those currently running things there. It’s always been a special place to play bowls - well done keeping the spirit of the game alive and well.
Beautiful little club. Got me hooked.
Well done to Bowls Waitarere - I’m proud of all you have achieved since you met with Bowls KC to tell us of your plans …. A tremendous example to all small clubs as to what can be achieved even in a community as small as yours
Joined the club last year .( New bowler). fantastic club and with committee devoted in making this club successful on the green and off it. As a new player nothing has been issue and I thank all the members for the past year in the encouragement, coaching and advice, that also includes many members at other Kapiti clubs I have played against. ....Love being involved in this club, long may it continue for years to come,👍👍👍
Well done Glenn, I have joined a club over here, Hingham Rectory, really love the club and the friends you make. Send a pic in your club shirt.

As an Aucklander from the Howick club, I’m pleased to say I’ve driven up the coast twice to Karamea…a few years apart but a great day’s outing from Westport! Loved the general store there, such a variety of treasures for sale from gum boots to calendars! I hope you can keep going as a bowling club.
July 10th....actually, not that it is that important
