Bowlers roll up for celebration

The centenary celebrations for Bowls Warkworth are now just a few weeks away.

The club has been based in Mill Lane for all of its 100 years and has seen much change in Warkworth during its lifetime.

Celebrations will start on Saturday, October 21 with a fours tournament sponsored by Warkworth Oaks.

Bowlers will play in two locations – Warkworth and Omaha – in two separate tournaments. Nominations for these tournaments are still being accepted.

At the conclusion of play, all teams will meet back in Warkworth for a prizegiving, afternoon tea and cutting of the centenary cake.

The Centennial Dinner will be held the following day on Sunday evening and is open to all past and present members, as well as invited guests.

Tickets are available from John Hurdley at winbindnz@gmail.com or phone 021 994 968. Hurdley says seats are fast filling up and space is limited, so past members who would like to attend the dinner are asked to get in touch as soon as possible.
