Tekaraka Bowling Club

The opening of the TeKaraka Bowling Club's new Clubrooms in the 74th year drew guests from afar. The project was years in the planning but began to gel into concrete plans in 1994. It was only possible with the assistance of the J N Williams Trust, the Hillary Commission, alot of support from the local community and the bowling fraternity.
