Bowls Papanui

(Incorporating Papanui Bowling Club)

Est. 1911

The picturesque 5 hectare Edgar MacIntosh Park in the North West suburb of Papanui is the home of a children’s play ground, a cricket club,a rugby club and our bowling  club.

 

The two-green Bowls Papanui complex boasts a modern, comfortable clubhouse complete with a large, upstairs lounge bar and ground floor kitchen/dining room facilities.

 The two 36.6m x 36.6m Maniototo weed greens are renowned for their quality and consistency, with very attractive surrounds.  One green has lights for evening games. There are also 3 indoor rinks for winter bowls.  Club members have won National titles in Pairs and Fours as well as numerous Canterbury Centre and interclub championships. Several players have represented Canterbury at inter-Centre level. The bowling club opened in 1911 with a membership of 32 men. Women were admitted in 1962 with a limit of 24 lady members – a policy long abandoned. Present membership stands at 130 men and 47 women and new members are always welcome. We are a fully integrated club with an excellent club spirit built on inclusiveness and the One Bowls philosophy.

The pavilion is of a very high standard with a full bar and is available to members at all times and can be hired for private functions on application to the Manager Facilities for a hire charge. Full kitchen facilities are also available.

Coaching is available to all new members and everyone is welcome to take advantage of coaching at anytime.

 We are proud of being selected to co-host World Bowls Championship 2008
