Stronger Together: Join the Clubs Workshop. Every bowls club is different. Some have found innovative ways to welcome new members, others have revitalised volunteering, strengthened community connections, upgraded facilities, or discovered fresh approaches to growing participation. Across New Zealand, clubs are finding solutions to common challenges and creating environments where people want to belong.

The 31st Annual meeting of Bowls New Zealand will be held on Saturday 12th September 2026 at the Bowls New Zealand offices, 105A Jervois Road, Herne Bay, Auckland, commencing at 10am.
