INDOOR BOWLS

PRIZE NIGHT ARRANGED A meeting of the management committee of the Auckland Friendly Societies’ Indoor Bowling Association was held to select the trophies and fix the date of the presentations, and decide the form that the closing function would take. As this was the first occasion on which the delegates from the Manchester Unity 1.0.0. F., Bros. Norris and Smith, had taken a seat on the management committee, they were heartily welcomed by the president, Bro. Harris, who assured them that their hearty co-operation and enthusiasm would be much appreciated in the coming season. The affiliation of the M.U.1.0.0.F. would make the sixth of the large Friendly Societies linked up with the association and would bring the number playing indoor bowls up to well approaching the 3,000 mark, which was a very satisfactory result for three years’ work. The greatest difficulties now to be faced are accommodation and supplies of bowls, as the demand is getting ahead of both. It was decided to hold the prize night on Saturday. November 9, in the Ponsonby Drill Hall, play to commence at S p.m.. but all names of players to be in by 7.45. It will take the form of a progressive fours bowls evening. Approximately 30 rinks will be available and an open invitation is extended to all indoor and outdoor bowlers, and anyone interested in the indoor sport. There is room for 200 players and 200 spectators also. During the evening the various trophies won during the ..season will be presented,
