Levin Cosmopolitan Club has been chosen to host not one but two of Clubs New Zealand's official 8 ball tournaments in 2022 – the North Island ladies and the North Island open.
The club applied for the right to host a tournament at a delegates meeting held during an earlier Clubs NZ tournament this year, and was surprised and honoured to be given the opportunity to host two.
This is the first time the club has hosted any of the eight annual tournaments so they will be reaching out to previous hosts, such as the Upper Hutt Cossie Club, for ideas and support in producing events they believe will bring a boost to Levin's economy.
"Of course, tournaments of this size bring a cost to the club and to help us we are [also] seeking sponsorship [from local businesses]," said Pam Morris, Levin Cossie Club's sponsorship co-ordinator.
