Be bowled over with fun and
friendship at MBBC
The pre-Christmas league at
Mairangi Bay Bowling Club
was a huge success late last
year with 26 teams of four
players participating.
The Club organises two leagues
of social bowls for non-bowling club
members every season, with leagues
played over six weeks in November
and February.
Whilst the emphasis is on having
fun and enjoying the social occasion
with other locals, because it is a sport,
there is always the desire to win and
a competitive edge soon develops,
particularly as skill levels improve
with time and practice. Finals night is
divided into three or four divisions with
the finishing order based on play in
the preceding five weeks determining
which division teams play in.
Dolls with Bowls was the overall
winning team and (l-r) Louise Rogers,
Kath Lindsay, Bev Jamieson and Pam
O’Connor were delighted to show off
their trophy.
The club always welcomes new
players either as full playing members
or social members. You can enquire
about membership by contacting

Mairangi Bay Village News 7
A few years ago, Amanda Turner got to
NEW GARDEN?
do what others can only dream about;
she ditched the corporate ladder to
follow her passion – gardening.
NEWHAVEN Originally from the UK, she arrived here in 2003 and found
work as an underwriter for mortgage lenders and then re-
insurance. But it is the smell of freshly turned earth that really
excites her, and after completing a Horticultural course in 2017,
she set to work creating New Haven Gardens.
Her business has grown steadily, and she and her team of four
nurture gardens across the North Shore and the Hibiscus Coast.
“Our focus is primarily residential with some commercial and
body corporate work. We focus on garden maintenance and pre-
sale makeovers, which have been very popular in recent times.
Gardening is something that I love to do, and I was very happy
when I made the decision to follow my passion,” she says.
Amanda is a huge fan of organic gardening and NZ natives.
Her tip for healthy plants is to make sure they have enough
water, feed and mulch. “And if you need to spray weeds, try
WeedX; it’s the only weed killer we use and its vinegar based”
advises Amanda.
Amanda has lived in Mairangi Bay for five years and simply
loves the area, the people and the possibilities.
Back in March during the first lockdown, Amanda had a bad
fall off a ladder at home, fracturing her L1 and S1 vertebrae.
The recovery took months and she was thankful for the support
from her daughter, Matilda and husband, Paul.
However, 2021 is beckoning and Amanda is now back in her
beloved gardens.
