Bowling for Brains - Tuesday 17th March 2026
As a village we have decided to support the Neurological Foundation with their fundraising and will be hosting a “Bowling for Brains” afternoon.
This will be a fun opportunity to give bowls a go if you’ve never tried it before or come along if you are already a bowler and support this meaningful cause.
The afternoon will start at 2pm at the Hobsonville Bowling Club and we will be having full use of both greens. One green will be organised games for those people who are already bowlers and the other green will be set up for those who want to "give it a go".
Our bowls coordinator John Croy will be facilitating the regular bowlers and Tony Rickerby will be hosting and encouraging those “giving it a go”. This will be a fun afternoon followed by afternoon tea and a variety of spot prizes for those taking part.
Please put your name up on the sign-up sheet on the noticeboard if you would like to take part. We ask that each player makes a donation of $10 per person which can be paid on the day, into the Neurological Foundation donation box or via this page. If you’re unable to take part in this activity but would like to make a donation to the Neurological Foundation please feel free to place this in the donation box at reception or through this page. Your generosity helps fund vital neurological research. Together we can make a real difference.
The Neurological Foundation is a New Zealand charity that funds vital research and education into over 700 neurological conditions. One in three people are affected by a neurological condition which makes this research hugely important and meaningful to many Kiwis impacted. Researchers and clinicians dedicate their working days to finding cures, developing treatments, and preventing the devastating effects of these conditions.
With no government funding, the Foundation relies entirely on generous supporters. That’s why our village is getting behind them this March.
Let’s join their vision to invest in leading neurological research and education - to improve the quality of life for Kiwis affected by neurological conditions - by supporting our Bowling for Brains fundraiser. By donating - no matter how big or small - your support helps fuel leading neurological research that brings hope to millions of New Zealanders - now and in the future.
Great cause
