Once clubs can reopen we urge you to strictly adhere to the government guidelines to protect your players, their families and the community.

Once clubs can reopen we urge you to strictly adhere to the government guidelines to protect your players, their families and the community.

This message from our Centre President, Ann Muir, is for all clubs and members following Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's announcement that we will continue in alert level 4 at least until midnight tonight (pending further announcements).

The Centre prizegiving, season opening and morning team play scheduled for Sunday, August 29 at Kamo Bowling Club has been postponed until such time Northland
is in Covid alert level 2.

As the season commences next weekend, it is anticipated that the prizegiving will be held early evening mid-week and under level 2 conditions. Whatever is decided, we will advise you of the arrangements and time once we reach level 2.

We do remind clubs that you are not able to play bowls until we are in level 2. This might mean that some tournaments will need to be rescheduled and the operations committee will be in touch with you should this be the case.

Once clubs can reopen, we urge you to strictly adhere to the Government guidelines to protect your players, their families and the community.

Stay safe, keep in touch with your members and be kind to one another.
