It is with sadness that I mention the passing of two bowls stalwarts - Audrey Fry, the matriarch of Northland, a life member of the Centre and the Northland Umpires Association and former NZ Women's Bowling Association president amongst many of her credentials, and Ted Mooney of the Maungaturoto Club, a former president and one of the true gentlemen of bowls.
Our condolences to members of both families.
The Centre Awards night and dinner will be held on Saturday June 10 at the Kamo Club with a 6pm meet and greet, followed by dinner and presentation of Centre prizes for the past season, and the Centre Special Awards.
The sponsors for the evening are Yovich & Co and the Lawrence family, who we thank sincerely for their support.
Tickets at $26 a head can be ordered and purchased through the Centre Office. Clubs and their members should get together and form a group to attend this very special occasion when we congratulate all winners.
