MORE than 70 members turned out for the Wellington Bowling Club annual photograph when they celebrated the start of the outdoor summer season.

The guests of honour were the mayor of Wellington Bob Bowrah and his wife Liz who are in the centre of the picture.

The club are planning to have two open days this year when members of the public are invited to have a tour round the club and ‘have a go’ at bowling. 

Anyone interested in learning to play bowls can have six sessions of free coaching and if they like the sport they are then offered membership of the club which allows them to use the fine facilities on offer. The open days are on Sunday, May 21, and Sunday, July 2. PHOTO: Dave Dagg
