Coastguard invitation to cruise
Kawau Coastguard volunteers are seeking community support for their cruise for a cause fundraiser.
Kawau Volunteer Coastguard has started urgent fundraising for a $250,000 upgrade to its rescue boat and is inviting the community to “cruise for a cause”.
The boat is 11 years old and is scheduled for a refit later this year to allow volunteer crew to continue their work.
The Kawau unit is hosting a twilight cruise along the Matakana Coast, around Kawau Island, Moturekareka Island and Motuketekete Island, as well as up the Mahurangi River on Thursday, March 25, from 6pm to 10pm.
Tickets are $150 and include a welcome drink, surf n’ turf style buffet and prize entry. It will be limited to 100 passengers.
RSA triumphs in Business House Bowls
It was ‘all business’ on Tuesday nights over the summer at Bowls Warkworth.
Warkworth RSA easily took out the overall points trophy at the Business House Bowls this month after taking the top spot in both the December and January series tournaments.
The champion team consisted of Geoff Copestake, Nadine Revell and Daniel Fairley.
Tournament organiser Hugh Bateman says there were 18 teams in the competition this year.
He says a special mention must go to Mason Containers, which sponsored a random draw prize for each night of the series. Its team also made No 9.
