Still time to experience bowls tournament

If you thought you missed the Steve Smith Memorial Bowls Tournament, originally scheduled for November 16 at Kawakawa Bowling Club, it is now to be held on November 30 at the same venue.

Named in honour of Northland bowls stalwart Steve Smith, the tournament is now in its 27th year, with bowlers expected to take part from across Northland.

The tournament had been held for those years at Waitangi Bowling Club, but with the club now defunct the Kawakawa Bowling Club had asked if it could host the event, and it will be held there on November 30. It was to be held on November 16, but forecast bad weather saw it postponed to the end of the month.

Kawakawa Bowling Club match Convenor Matthew Taylor said the tournament would start at 9.30am and there were still some spots available. To enter people can call Taylor on 022 4122335 or go to the club’s Facebook page.
