The homepage of crackajack bowls in the Western Bay of Plenty, NZ

crackajack bowls will be the buzzword for entertainment in the coming summer season. What is it? What does it mean?  

crackajack bowls is the new concept in the game of bowls, providing opportunity for casual, no strings participation in an a great old sport with a new look and outlook.

When you see the crackajack bowls  logo you will know that this is something that you  can get into.

Have you seen what’s happened to the game of bowls? Brightly coloured bowls, no uniforms, young and old, novel quick fire versions of the game. Forget about the image that it’s a game only for old people in starchy uniforms taking hours and hours to play a game under stodgy rules. All ages play today, there are no uniforms and moderated easy rules for casual play. All this is available under the crackajack bowls banner.  

Do you sometimes have a spare hour or two on a summer evening, or a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Ever thought of having a game of bowls with your mates, your family or anyone else ? crackAjack public bowls caters for this and is so fun. All you need to supply is a pair of flat soled shoes and the motivation.
