RIVERVIEW BOWLS CARNIVAL UNDERWAY

October 16, 2011 at 3:36 pm

North Haven’s biggest bowls event of the year, the Riverview Carnival is underway.

The 53rd annual carnival has again attracted a strong field, with 420 teams signed up for the eight-day event.

Today it was the mixed fours taking to the greens at the North Haven Bowling Club, in a tournament which is as much about having socialising as it is winning trophies.

Some teams have travelled from Queensland, Sydney and the Central Coast to compete in the event which is one of the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

Matches are being played in mixed, men’s and women’s divisions.
