Exciting Proposal: Merger Between Lindfield Bowling Club and North Shore Bridge Club
We’re thrilled to share some very exciting news with our members — the North Shore Bridge Club and the Lindfield Bowling Club are exploring a merger opportunity that could secure a bright and sustainable future for both clubs.
This proposal represents months of work by both committees, and while we know it’s impossible to get it “perfect”, we’ve worked damn hard to ensure the key elements protect both clubs, preserve their identities, and create a structure for long-term success.
The proposed merger is formalised in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is currently being finalised. Members will receive the full MOU at least 14 days before the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
To help everyone understand the proposal, we’ve prepared a comprehensive Information Pack which includes:
A 7-minute video message from our President, Shaz Thompson which serves to explain it all.
(In the spirit of honesty — Shaz’s video isn’t perfect! She says we need a 51% majority at the EGM when it’s actually 50% + 1.)
Information Session – Friday 7th November, 10:00am
We’ll be holding an Information Session for all members on Friday 7th November at 10:00am at East Lindfield.
Members can also join online via Google Meet:

After the session, there’ll be a Red Point 24-board duplicate — so come for the discussion, stay for the bridge!
We encourage everyone to do their homework beforehand — read through the documents or watch the short video — and if you have any questions, please send them through using this form:

This is a transformational opportunity for our club and community. We encourage all members to stay informed, ask questions, and take part in shaping the next chapter of the North Shore Bridge Club and Lindfield Bowling Clubs' journey.
Together, we can create a shared home that truly belongs to us.
