Mixed Fours bowls tournament

As a new season of winter team sports get underway at the Rec Park Centre, drivers are being asked to take extra care around the site, especially on match days.

“There are multiple sports that play up at the Rec Park on a Saturday including lots of spectators,” says secretary of Golden Bay Shared Recreation Facility (GBSRF) Tyler Langford. “This is a timely reminder for a few points that keep our community safe and enable everything to run smoothly.”

GBSRF’s key messages for drivers are:

Drive very slowly and be vigilant for children everywhere.

They have a knack for popping up in the most unusual places and as we know move very unpredictably.

• It can be difficult to turn a vehicle around at the “football end” so navigate this area carefully.

• Abide by the parking signs displayed at the grounds, especially no parking on yellow lines, disabled parking and the blanked out yellow space at the football end of the grounds. These signs have all been carefully placed to allow free movement and traffic flow and to keep tamariki safe.

• There are new lines by the grandstand. There is also an area marked with arrows closest to the grandstand to allow for movement around these car parks. Giving 2WD cars priority at these carparks will avoid potential tows from the muddy grass area; 4WD vehicles can use the grass space better.

• There will be overflow car parking available at the end of the rugby grounds again this year.

Tyler urges everyone to follow these simple guidelines. “We will all need to work together to make this winter sport season safe and fun for our entire community.”

Pōhara Bowling Club held its Annual Golden Bay Memorial Mixed Fours Tournament over the weekend of 15 and 16 April. The tournament, now in its 38th year, was started by the late Charlie Gatenby as the Golden Bay Open and was later changed to the Golden Bay Memorial in his honour.

Club member Selwyn Kotua played in the very first tournament and has not missed a tournament to date. The weather was good for the 32 teams who competed on both the Pōhara and Tākaka bowling greens over the two days.
