Raglan Bowling Club has had an influx of new members, boosting our junior numbers which is wonderful for the future of our club.
To support these ‘new to bowling’ players our own coach Terry Green invited two coaches from Hamilton to offer helpful tips and explain the fundamentals of a good bowling delivery.
Our bowling season got underway on Saturday 3 September. On Saturday, a somewhat cool and windy day, we welcomed in our new bowling season, with the traditional ringing of the bell, raising the flag, first jack and first bowl before enjoying a day of fun bowls and good company.
Our thanks to Lisa Thomson, Raglan Ward District Councillor, for attending and giving the game a go. In her opening address Lisa spoke to the special place the Bowling Club holds in Raglan’s history and community and how the facility supports many groups that meet regularly.
We hold roll-ups each Wednesday at 1 pm and some Saturday afternoons through the season. New bowlers very welcome. Contact Alan Price, our Vice-President for any further information cjandal@hotmail.com or just pop down to the club. Individual coaching is also available.
