This year’s annual Karoo National Park Bowls Day on Saturday 7 April was yet another resounding success. The event at the Beaufort West Bowls Club was headed up by the SANParks Honorary Rangers in the Karoo Region as a fundraising initiative to plough the money raised back into the Park.

A total of 24 teams competed for the day’s trophies and prizes. Not only the teams, but their supporters came out in full force as well. The event organisers say they were exceptionally happy with the turnout. The children were kept occupied on a jumping castle while the parents enjoyed the day playing and supporting their teams.

Speaking at the awards dinner that evening, the Park’s Senior People and Conservation Officer, Esna van Zyl, spoke about the projects the Honorary Rangers are involved in. These include the development of a new lookout point along the Potlekkertjie route, as well as the renovation of the Mountainview rondawels and camping facilities.

The day’s winners were Eddie Springs’ team, followed by those of Clive Hutton and Apie Tinderholm.

The Park staff and Honorary Rangers wish to thank all the sponsors who made the day possible, as well as everyone who attended for their support.
