Membership
We are a club of over 120 members with approximately 60 men and women playing Bowls and 40 men and women playing Petanque with the remaining members being social or casual. The Bowls and Petanque sections of the club have a mixture of competitive players and those that prefer to pay on a more casual or social basis. The club also caters for non-members who wish to play only in specially arranged community events.
New and prospective members are always welcome. Anyone wishing to “have a go” at Bowls or Petanque are asked to email the secretary at
secretary@silverstream.co.nz and we will arrange for one of the club members to ring you.
