History
The Australian & New Zealand
Railway Institute Lawn Bowls Carnivals have been
contested since 1935, at rotating venues around
the States of Australia & in New Zealand.
The most recent Carnival
was in Rotorua, New Zealand, in 2008.
At the Carnivals, members
play for Championship Singles, Pairs, Triples &
Fours events, as well as the Denniss Cup & Commissioners
Shield for results in the Fours Tests (16 player
sides) & the Anderson Trophy (reserve 4 player side).
A trophy is also awarded for the best Rink in the
Test Matches.
These Carnivals are held
usually over a 10-12 day period, and are as much
a social as competitive event. Official Functions
occur throughout the Carnival period, and visitors
are welcome to attend as well.
The next ANZRI Lawn Bowls
Carnival is to be held in Victoria in February 2010.
