January 27th, 2010
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.
