THE BOUNTY TOURNAMENT
The story of the Bounty Bowling Tournament is really a story of a determined effort on the part of the Norfolk Island Bowling Club to establish an annual competition on an International or Commonwealth level, particularly with the view of attracting teams from overseas. In 1962 the then President Danny Lusk and his committee organized the first Bounty Tournament welcoming a contingent of New Zealand bowlers as well as a team from Sydney Australia led by the President of the Royal NSW Bowling Association. The tournament was away to a flying start. Over the years interest in the Tournament, which usually commences on the first Monday in May each year, has grown and with improved greens and other facilities the success of this annual event seems assured. A strikingly good replica of the Bounty , remembered more perhaps by the Mutiny of 1789, made in solid silver is the trophy competed for and the individual names of players in winning teams are inscribed on a plaque fixed to the trophy stand. In the past 47 years since its inception the Bounty has been won by the Royal NSW Bowling Association, Australia and New Zealand a total of eleven times each with Queensland winning once and Norfolk Island thirteen times. Originally just mens fours, in recent years ladies fours have also been played at the same time as the Bounty competing for the Bebe Christian Memorial Trophy. In the second week of the tournament, the format is a Mixed event where men and women combine.
