A garage sale is being hosted at Whangamata Memorial Hall this Labour Weekend Saturday to help the Whangamata Bowling Club hit its $320,000 funding goal to create an artificial green.
The club has received numerous donations after leaping at the chance to hold a fundraiser on Saturday
when the usual Whangamata Lions Craft market was postponed.
Club president Keith Miles says everything from books and CDs to sports equipment and bric-a-brac is on sale, raising money for the cause.
The green will give the club the ability to host tournaments bringing players from Paeroa, Waihi, Tairua and beyond which they say will help generate income for the club and town.
