Suspended agent receives lifetime bowls club ban
‘‘We now require clubs to communicate with us prior to making any significant decisions, like land sales or redevelopments.’’ The club was closed and the property was still up for sale, he said. Drever was approached for comment on a phone number known
The saga of the controversial Avondale Bowling Club is in its final act following an indefinite suspension against members of the West Auckland club’s board.
An independent judicial committee set up by Auckland Bowls has confirmed allegations of misconduct against the eight board members, including suspended real estate agent Aaron Drever.
The allegations stem from a questionable land sale, as well as the failure of the board to retain its liquor licence.
Drever has been banned from ever being a member of any bowling club in New Zealand.
The rest of the board members received an indefinite suspension on holding positions of power in any club in the country.
Auckland Bowls general manager Phil Vyver said he was pleased with the outcome of the hearing.
‘‘We cannot allow clubs to be mismanaged in the way that Avondale Bowling Club has been in recent years,’’ he said.
Vyver said the issues around the Avondale club had caused the regional bowls governing body to make changes to its constitution.
