There was plenty of pride, laughter and reminiscing as the Wanaka Bowling Club community came together recently to celebrate a significant milestone, the club's 100th anniversary.

Past and present bowlers, dignitaries and friends gathered over Labour Weekend to mark a milestone few clubs reach: 1926–2026.

A year ago, Diana Wood generously shared her story with us as part of Check Your Bowls. Twelve months on, we caught up with her again. A lot has changed in that time, but Diana’s willingness to talk openly about cancer, life, family and the role bowls has played remains.
