Attendees must be either full or first year members of a club in the Bowls North Harbour Centre.
To register, email [email protected]

To date entries have been received mainly from 1 to 5 year bowlers.  Those who attended last season recommend these sessions as not only do the cover bowls delivery coaching and practice routines, but they also cover the rules and etiquette for this great game.  This coaching should be a must for all who are new to bowls.

There are still some places available so get your registration in. Further information will be emailed to them in the first week of June.
