This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the mums, stepmums, nanas, and every woman who’s stepped up as a mother figure in our bowls whānau.

You’re the heart of our clubs, on and off the green. While you’re looking after everyone else, here’s a friendly reminder to look after yourself too — check your bowls. Regular breast checks are important, and early detection can save lives.

Thanks for everything you do. Have a great Mother’s Day — you’ve earned it! 🌸

🖐️✨ This NZSL Week, we’re celebrating the beauty of New Zealand Sign Language and our incredible hearing-impaired bowlers who inspire us every day!

Let's take the time to learn some sign language, connect with our community, and celebrate the diversity that makes our sport so special.

Whether it’s a friendly "hello" 👋 or cheering someone on in sign, every little bit helps make bowls more inclusive for everyone. 💙

We’ve teamed up with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ

We’ve teamed up with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ and Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ to raise awareness around the early detection of breast, prostate, and testicular cancer. 💗💙
Bowls is more than a game. It’s about community, connection, and looking out for one another.

With clubs all over Aotearoa, we’ve got the perfect place to start these important chats. Clubs are where we catch up, check in, and support our mates—so let’s use that to make a real difference.

Cancer has touched many in our bowling whānau. Early detection can make all the difference. That’s what this campaign is all about. 🙌
