What an amazing tournament this has been! 💚

We have had the privilege of learning and running the Invitational Triples as it was created 20 years ago by Ian Mason. Moving forward, this tournament will proudly be named the Pauline & Ian Mason Invitational Triples.

There has certainly been some learning behind the scenes and a few teething points along the way, but what an incredible weekend it has been!

A huge thank you to Deputy Mayor Jerry Greer, who came along and officially opened the tournament and drew the Waipawa players, with the support of our President, Murray Kenderdine.

A tournament like this simply would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. Thank you to each and every one of you for helping make this tournament possible. Your generosity and support mean so much to our club. 💚

To our amazing club members who worked behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly — thank you!

Ian Munro, thank you for making sure our players and club members were kept hydrated and for looking after the raffles. Your support and dedication mean the world!

Wendy and your kitchen team, thank you for the delicious snacks and for making sure the tea and coffee were always ready to go. Your contribution was so valuable and greatly appreciated.

Ali, thank you for all your support behind the scenes. Your help has not gone unnoticed.

Graeme and your team, thank you for working hard to mend the green after the damage from Monday and for ensuring the grounds and green were looking in top condition. We really appreciate the effort that went into this.

Murray, thank you for your ongoing support, guidance and assistance throughout. It has been greatly appreciated.

Dave, you wear so many hats around the club and I don’t think you realise just how important and valuable you truly are. Your encouragement and support mean more than you know, and we are forever grateful for everything you do. 💚

And finally, to our amazing invited players, your pairs and our Waipawa players — without you, this tournament would not be possible at all!

Thank you so much for coming, for travelling to Waipawa and for being part of our community and an event we are incredibly proud of. We have seen some fantastic bowls, great competition and some truly enjoyable games.

🏆 Now for the important part… who takes home the bragging rights?! 😜
Winners and placings will be announced later this afternoon, so stay tuned!

Travel safe, keep well, and we hope to see you all back next year! 💚
