Step aside, Dumbbells and Treadmills – this Christmas, our exercise class traded the usual workout with a fun filled day out on the lawn for a relaxing (but competitive!) day of bowls.
On the 10th December, our Fitness Class showed up to the beautiful Browns Bay Bowling Club on Auckland’s North Shore with a wonderful array of food and drink – ready to fuel the day ahead! Our potluck lunch was a huge hit and no crumbs were left behind!
Once the eating and chatting was over, we embarked outside on a warm and humid Auckland summer’s day. We were so lucky to have Baz from Browns Bay Bowls Club here to teach us the ropes and ensure we all had a good idea of what we were doing!
We split into four teams and the friendly competition was full steam ahead!
A mix of cheering, laughter and groans of disappointment were heard across the entire clubhouse as balls were bowled. For many, it was our first times playing this incredible sport, and it certainly showed at times! Luckily, Baz and Co were very insightful in helping us with our techniques so that much improvement was made over the course of the day!
Overall, we all had a very enjoyable day out and many now have a new found hobby to enjoy!
On behalf of Phil’s Exercise Class at Over 50 and Young, we would like to say a huge thanks to Browns Bay Bowling Club for hosting us and a special shout out to Baz for being a great mentor to our class!
All smiles after a fun-filled day of Lawn Bowls!
