Watch out for the stories on this recent Nelson Anniversary weekend trip.

Club Waimea hosted the 26th Annual Clubs National Womens indoor bowls tournament last july with locals Jean McKenzie , Patricia Stade and Linda Carrick amongst the successful players.

At Club Waimea we have a strong Indoor Bowls Section. Our bowling season generally runs from February until early October each year. During our season we meet each Monday evening at 7.15 in the Club Waimea hall. Opening night for the 2010 season is 15 February. We have a busy season of bowls planned as well as visits to and from otherclubs in our region. There are also several open tournaments held by other clubs and associations that our teams are encouraged to participate in. Indoor Bowls is a game that can be played by everyone either as a social activity or as competitively as you wish, no equipment is required other than the wearing of flat soled shoes to protect the bowling mats. There are social games of singles, pairs, triples and fours as well as championship matches for those that want to play at a higher level. New members are always welcome, so why not come to our opening night on 15 February and give the game of Indoor Bowls a go. Encouragement and coaching is given to new players.

For more information on the Indoor Bowls Section:

Tele phone Mary Jordan on 544 9613 or AtholCurtis on 544 8046.

Club manager says, ‘We’re looking forward to February, so join us …’

Club Waimea manager Raymond Nicholson (pictured right) says “There is always plenty going on at Club Waimea, something to appeal to everyone, meaning there are so many good reasons why you should become a member of our friendly, supportive and progressive club.” You can join now for as little as $20.

A great line up of entertainment has been planned for February with tickets on sale now for some of these shows. Members are entitled to discounted prices. Our Sunday night Buffet is excellent value at $19.90pp and we always keep drinks at affordable prices. With regular sporting and social activities to cater to the young and more mature members you will be glad you joined Club Waimea. Be it for a game of cards or snooker, a round of golf or something more adventurous such as one of the fishing trips, there really is something here for everyone, and that includes you.

Social darts is to make a welcome and eagerly anticipated return to the club for casual play with the introduction of two new dart boards into the main bar area. It is the intention to grow this sport and introduce a business house league over the winter months for social competition.

And for those who don’t have the time to make your own, traces will be available for purchase on the night. Special offers apply for Waimea Club members. The bar will be open.
