Bowls Te Awamutu held its opening day in brilliant weather on Saturday.
A good number of members attended, including three new players.
To officially open the greens, patron Margaret Littlewood put up the first jack and life member John Apeldoorn delivered the first bowl - a perfect shot that sat neatly beside the jack.
A progressive format for the day’s play made for a social atmosphere.
The prize giving followed on in a convivial atmosphere, with “master of ceremonies” life member John Byett at the helm.
