Come down to Western Hall this weekend to see the Young Guns in action! 🤩

Hosted for the first time in Auckland!

Young Guns 2026 kicks off tomorrow at the Western Hall in Auckland and there are some things we'd like everyone to know!

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭?

Both days are a 10am start, which means you get a sleep in.

You're welcome.

𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡?

Only if you don't want delicious and entirely free sausages, onions, bread and burgers.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐬?

We have obtained a liquor license for this event, and the Young Guns Committee are also putting on a free dinner at the hall.

We'd love it if people stayed at the hall to watch the rest of the bowls and enjoy each others company.

For those who don't want to stay in their bowling clothes, there is a shower at the hall too- you may never want to leave!

We will also have a big screen TV on at the hall to watch the Warriors.

As if the above wasn't exciting enough, we also have a website where you can follow all the Young Guns action- check it out at the link below:

We will have live streaming of the entire day for those who can only attend in spirit.

Bring it on.
