Northcote Bowling Club

To be confirmed
 

Originally named as the Waitemata Bowling Club and founded by Mr John Court in 1899, Northcote Bowling Club is now the oldest functioning Lawn Bowls Club on the North Shore.
 

John Court had department stores in Queen Street, his brother George (and Frederick in the early stages) owned the still recognisable building in Karangahape Road (together with other stores).
