UNIFORM – A friendly reminder that when you are representing Green Island in Interclub play, the correct GIBC uniform is to be worn.  This consists of:

  • GIBC shirt
  • Green or white shorts, trousers, skorts, or skirts

​​​​​​​Shirts can be purchased from the club and hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, etc, can be purchased PromoX in Hillside Road.


RETURN OF TROPHIES – If you were the lucky recipient of a trophy last season, can you please return them to the club….after you have given them a good, old clean, of course 😊   These can be left on the table in the women’s locker room.  This also includes any from Bowls Dunedin.


VENUE HIRE INCREASE – There will be an increase in the venue being hired over the autumn/winter months so please don’t be alarmed if you see lights on at odd times including into the evening/night.


ST JOHN – We have been very fortunate to have been provided a new AED by St John Taieri.  This has already been installed (thank you, Paul Seddon) in the same location as the previous one.  We will be having a CPR / AED Refresher course as part of the winter social calendar.


2024/2025 SEASON CLOSING DAY – The closing day has been set for Saturday 12th April.  This will be a Potluck dinner followed by prize giving.  Bar opens at 4pm with dinner around 6pm.
