The first Oaks Village Fours competition was played out at Bowls Warkworth on March 3, with the new retirement village now a major sponsor of the club.
The club is looking to establish a good relationship with the development and will run the Oaks tournament annually.
Competition organiser Harry Williams says because of the number of retirees set to move in, it’s a great opportunity to grow club membership.
“There will be a lot of people wanting some daytime recreational activities and Bowls Warkworth offers that within a very short walk of the village,” Williams says.
The debut event attracted a full green of 64 competitors across 16 teams to the club, with a Helensville team taking out first place.
“It was very well attended with some generous cash prizes up for grabs and good weather throughout the day.”
Mahurangi East snatched second, while two Warkworth teams picked up the third and fourth prizes.
The club’s lighting has now been fully renovated and renewal of the carpet green is underway.
“We will look to have some twilight competition towards the end of the summer putting our new lighting in to action,” Williams says.
