Waikanae Bowling Club

What a fabulous day 1 of our "Kids in Bowls" programme this sunny Sunday morning.
We had a half dozen primary and college studends attend.
I was very impressed with all who attend and watched them grow from "No Idea" to "Look at me now".
Kids catch on so quick dont they.
There are still a couple of vacancies for any student, year 7 or 8 or college.
Sunday Morning 10am til noon. Wet or fine.
Here's a few photos from this morning.
PS.
A special thanks must go to the Waikanae Community Board for helping us get special bowls for small hands

The Friday night Joker is alive and very well at the Waikanae Bowling Club.
Ot is really worth winning now that it's going to be over $1250 this coming Friday.
Gay had a go at trying to pick just where it was hiding but only manage to find the 7 of Diamonds.
Each week as another card gets turned over it gets easier and easier to find.

This weekend saw Bowls Waikanae hold their annual Winter Cup tournament with entries from around thr North lsland competing for this coveted trophy.
From Pirongia in the King Country, to Feilding, Foxton Beach, Wilton in Wellington.
64 teams, 254 bowlers plus their support crew poured into Waikanae Bowling Club for prestigeous Tournament.
A beautiful Warm Saturday was spoiled only by a sudden downpour and flooding that caused the last game to be cancelled that afternoon.
Sunday was cold, cold, cold, the teams were divided by ranking into Top 8 into main finals
Next 8 into plate final and then gala teams.
The overall winner was Chris Avery's 4 from Foxton Beach which was running hot, (excuse the pun) Congratulation!
Phil Gausel's 4 from Pirongia won the plate final
Rob (Popeye)Mckintyre
Topped the gala field.
All in all it was a wonderful experience enjoyed by all.

Our wonderful Bar Manager Bryan ( Boof) Scown won the chance to Pick the Joker this Friday. He sticks to the same lucky numbers each week but he couldn't find the Joker.
Its over $1000 this Friday coming and I will be away. NO Hanky Panky but some one has got to win it soon

Last Thursday saw the Grand Opening of our new green.an invitation was sent to clubs within Kapiti to come and join in the festivities.
They came from far and wide. Raumati Waikanae of course Waitarere and Rymans were the major sponsor so they had a team too.
A total of 12 teams from around the region.
Waitarere proved to be the strongest and the winners in this "friendly" mini tournament.
The comments all round were very favourable with remarks saying how true the green runs.
Well done Tiger Turf, you have done a great job.

Check this out.
Here is Lauren. A couple of years ago she won the $5000 "Joker Jack Pot"
She is at it again.
Well almost, missed the Joker this time but came up with the second best.
She found an Ace of Diamonds worth $100
I'm thinking of banning her, she is way too lucky
Well done Lauren but the JOKER still lives.
See you next week, over $1000
