This is old news as was not the filming done over a month ago. Campbell live must be short of news clips. Can I go into a womens only gym?. Also why not come down to the bowling club on a wednesday evening for Business House Bowls, over 50 per cent of competitors are female and they are all enjoying themselves.

What's the big deal? Maybe we men should complain about the sexist Govt Dept for Women. They have their women only clubs also so what's the problem?

As the National Governing body Bowls New Zealand wishes to see all clubs in New Zealand being open to both genders. We are a gender neutral organisation who has a major value around enjoyment. We want our participants to enjoy the unique social bonds and friendships formed by creating positive, supporting and welcoming environments at Clubs for people of all abilities, ages and backgrounds. We do not support the continuation of single gender Clubs in today’s society
