Description

New Zealand - Tauranga - Women's Bowling Club - Circa 1960 to 1970 Bowls or lawn bowls - A sport in which the objective is to roll biased balls so that they stop close to a smaller ball called a "jack" or "kitty". It is played on a bowling green which may be flat (for "flat-green bowls") or convex or uneven (for "crown green bowls"). - It is normally played outdoors (although there are many indoor venues) and the outdoor surface is either natural grass, artificial turf, or cotula (in New Zealand). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowls) Tauranga - Tauranga was settled by Māori late in the 13th century and by Europeans in the early 19th century and was constituted as a city in 1963. - Tauranga is located around a large harbour that extends along the western Bay of Plenty, and is protected by Matakana Island and the extinct volcano of Mauao (Mount Maunganui). - The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand's largest port in terms of gross export tonnage and efficiency.
