Thanks to Cole and the team at Bowls New Zealand for their assistance with our week of Bowls at Schools around Taranaki. Sessions were held at Opunake, Sacred Heart Girls College and New Plymouth Boys High School. We also held a session for All Abilities children hosted at Inglewood. It was a challenge with weather and teacher strikes, but the at the end of the week, it was a success! Bowls New Zealand #rangatahi #bowls

While ill health prevented Nola Lowry from playing competitive bowls for a number of years, many bowlers in Taranaki are recalling the skilled and determined competitor who died on October 12. Nola created an impressive record on the green, which was highlighted by her eight Taranaki titles. A member of Bowls Rahotu and then the Opunake Bowling Club, she carved out her own achievements to rival even those closest to her.
Her father, Vern Muir, was a Taranaki gold star holder and won the Dominion pairs in 1979. Her brother, Terry Muir, was a senior Taranaki rep, like Nola, and a BOP titleholder. While her former husband, Des Lowry, was also a gold star holder and rep.
Nola's Taranaki victories came in the:
Open singles 2004 (coming from 13-19 down to beat Shirley Perrett 21-19 in the final)
Open pairs 1984, 1997, 1998
Open triples 2006
Open fours 1992
Champion-of-champions triples 1999, 2000
Nola's service will be held at Abraham's Funeral Home this Friday at 2pm.
May the angels lead you into paradise, Nola.
