A busy season is approaching fast and with it we need volunteers to help on the bar  or out on the rinks during functions or after bowling events.
Full training will be given and on the bar it may only be collecting glassware and bottles , restocking and cleaning.
The rinks are about supervising the bowlers to ensure they are not dumping or giving them encouragement to enjoy their bowling.
If you are able to help, please click on the link below.

Greetings fellow bowlers and welcome to the 20025 – 26 season. since I was last president.

It is an honour to serve as your president again after an eight year gap. A lot has changed since I was last president. The urban beach has been transformed back to a bowling gren, our number 2 green has had further improvements, and we now have a wonderful new clubhouse for all to enjoy. We also have a healthy balance sheet and all of these, along with our considerable playing strength make us the envy of many other clubs.This can lead to a “tall poppy syndrome” which can reflect negatively on the way other clubs perceive us. Elmwood has always been considered a friendly club which is a great place to play and visit. We must continue to win with dignity and lose with honour whenever we are on the greens.

Speaking of winning, we were once again very well represented at the recent Bowls Canterbury Awards Evening  and congratulations to all of those wo won titles last season. Since that awards night both our women’s and men’s champion fours teams have finished runners up in the Bowls New Zealand champion of champions event, Well done to all.

The last twelve months have been a busy time for your executive and the many helprs wh have contributed so much to the smooth running of our club. My thanks go to all concerned.

Our greens have once again been amongst the very best in Canterbury thanks to the outstanding work off our greenkeeper Kelvin Scott, greens superintendent Don Baker and all their willing helpers. Kelvin is stepping down this year and we welcome Steve Street to Elmwood Park to continue the good work.

Volunteers form the backbone of most sporting clubs in New Zealand and we are extremely lucky to have so many people who give up their time so willingly in the interests of our club. Some of our volunteers are getting close to retirement age and we are always looking for willing helpers to spread the load, This season we will be co-hosting the National singles and pairs over the new year and we will definitely need further volunteers to help out.

Finally I would like to wish eveeryone an enjoyable season and look forward to further success on the green.

Ian Rule
President

We do have a lot of various uniforms in stock so please advise sizing. A few of you have already advised what you require & I will touch base with you to confirm you still wish me to order these for you.
