Kids Bowls
Some of the students of NICS received an enormous surprise when they turned up for weekly sports day of bowling when Carmen Anderson, former World Champion, joined regular coaches Phil Jones, John Deadman, Kerry Roberts and Kitha Bailey.
Carmen helped all of the kids and gave individual tips to almost every child as they played their games. The children were very appreciative to be coached by such an elite player and they agreed that they had fun and learnt a lot from Carmen.
Much of what they learnt will be on display as the kids start their “Young Guns” bowls competition starting on Sunday at 11.30am.
Max and Mick - had a "great time"
