Better bias for Levin bowlers
A $20,000 donation from the Eastern and Central Community Trust has been approved for the Levin Bowling Club towards the cost of resurfacing its artificial bowling green.
The existing turf was laid more than 10 years ago and is due for replacement. The turf enables bowls to be played throughout the year, including the successful Levin Business House bowls programme organised by the Levin Club.
Also on the sporting scene, a $4,000 donation to Levin Basketball Association will contribute to the upgrading of backboard structures and new breakaway hoops which are required for tournament games.
With an increasing number of players using the Showgrounds Events Park facilities, the hoops come in for a fair amount of pressure. The upgrade will also give a higher level of safety.
The community trust has approved a total of more than $41,000 to Horowhenua groups this month.
