Ready to swap spreadsheets for scorecards and site boots for bowling shoes? The Canterbury Young Engineers are bringing the vibes this summer with a laid-back lawn bowls and pizza night at the Sydenham Club – and you’re invited.

This event is all about unwinding, meeting new people, and having a good time outside the usual work setting. Whether you’re fresh into your engineering career, a seasoned grad, or somewhere in between, this is the perfect chance to connect with fellow young engineers in a fun, low-pressure environment. No lawn bowls experience? Zero problem. Absolute beginners, casual rollers, and secret pros are all welcome – the focus is on laughs, not leaderboard dominance (although bragging rights are always on the table).

We’ll kick things off at 5:30pm with bowls, followed by pizza to refuel and keep the energy high. Expect plenty of opportunities to mingle, chat, and maybe discover that your coworkers are surprisingly competitive when a game is involved. Drinks will be available for purchase from the club, and the relaxed setting makes it easy to drop in, switch off, and enjoy the evening at your own pace.

So grab your friends, bring your best banter, and come along for a summer social that’s equal parts networking and nonsense.
