There are a wide range of opportunities for competitive type bowling at Parklands.  See below for details of our Tournaments, Competitions and Interclub games last season.  The programme for the next season starting September 2010 is expected to be similar.

Most Parklands Bowling Club tournaments are open to bowlers who are members of any bowling club; although some tournaments as listed below are for members only.   In addition, our greens are often used by Bowls Canterbury for their tournaments and by other affiliated organisations for various bowling events.

Please phone John Bullen on (03) 383 6911 or Tony Dougherty on (03) 332 2482 if you wish to enter any Parklands Tournament next season.

We also have 4 rinks in the Mens Tuesday afternoon friendlies and a number of special games against local and distant clubs.

The club has a wide range of club competitions for both senior and junior members.  In 2009-2010 we used a format where some of the competitions are played in a round-robin format for the first 4 games.  This had the advantage that every entrant plays a certain number of games before the knock-out phase starts.

Competitions included:-       

Men's Fours                                                                              Women's Fours                                                                             Men's Triples                                                                            Women's Triples                                                                            Men's Pairs                                                                              Women's Pairs                                                                              Men's Open Singles                                                                               Women's Open Singles                                                                           Handicap Singles                                                                                  Mixed Pairs                                                                                          Junior Singles
