Lawn bowlers and dancers traded places and tips at a fundraising event at the Laird Park Bowling Club on Sunday.
The bowling club, Ceroc Whanganui and Dance Whanganui are raising money to improve security at their shared Peat St venue after some vehicle break-ins in the area.
Bowling club president Judy Titter said Sunday's event attracted about 50 participants.
"The dancers got a chance to learn to play bowls then the bowlers had to learn some dances," Mrs Titter said.
"It's all recreation so it's good that we're all sharing the space and finding out more about each other."
