Yesterday, the Nolands Cape Town team celebrated the end of another successful year in true Bowls & Blues style at Constantia Bowling Club!

Swapping boardrooms for bowling greens, staff teamed up for a lively round of lawn bowls, dressed in their crisp white outfits, complete with their Nolands bucket hats or blue socks.

After some friendly competition (and a few surprisingly impressive bowls), the celebrations continued with a mouth-watering spitbraai and a soft-serve ice-cream truck. ☀️ 🍦

Here’s to a well-deserved festive break and an even better 2026 year! 🥂

Last week, the Nolands Durban team wrapped up the year in true KZN style at their annual year-end function! 🎉 This time, the challenge was set on the greens, as staff took part in a friendly (but competitive) game of lawn bowls at the Stella Park Bowling Club.

Teams went head-to-head to claim the title of “ultimate lawn bowls champions”, followed by a well-earned feast featuring a delicious spitbraai and a soft-serve ice cream stand to keep things cool. 🍦🔥
