MESSAGE TO ALL CLUBS FROM BOWLS NORTH HARBOUR
In the current environment of change, we need to keep communicating with each other so we do not loose contact. Bowls North Harbour is still working for the benefit of all the clubs in the Centre and would like to bring you this update on what we are doing.
Greens Maintenance – this is a hot topic of conversation with the Government, as indeed it is with all turf sports field maintenance. The Minister has been made aware of the situation and a decision is awaited any day when the green-keepers will be able to return to the greens. See latest release on this subject on Bowls New Zealand web issued on 7 April.

Bowls3five – both open and junior Centre finals are both on hold until further notice.
Champ of Champ events – these events are all on hold being postponed until further notice.
Open 1-5 singles/pairs and 1-8 triples/fours – these events have been cancelled and will not be held. Please do not send in any entries for these events.
