Wellington Centre Rinks The Wellington Bowling Centre’s annual Christmas rinks tournament will commence on Boxing Day and continue on Friday, Saturday, and Monday. It wili be conducted on lines similar to the corresponding tournaments of previous years. Forty rinks have entered, two fewer than Tast year.
