ACTIVITIES
We have a number of activities here at Mangawhai club. Our groups are welcoming, social and great fun!
Use the links below to learn more about our activities, and please contact us if you have any questions!
Housie
Housie was started to fundraise money to replace the carpet on our third bowling green. Players come from as far away as Wellsford and Waipu for an afternoon of fun.
We play on Friday - ticket sales commence at 11:30am and play gets underway at 12:00pm. Besides the ordinary houses the “SUPER HOUSE” is a major attraction and there is a “BUZZ” of excitement when one of our callers announces the start of the “BIG ONE”. The more people we have playing the bigger the prize pool.
Just come along, you will be made welcome. Players must be over the age of 18.
