Each team’s entry fee is R1 800, and the prize money is as follows: R12 000 for first place, R6 000 for second, and R3 000 for third.
In addition to the Tzaneen Classic, the club continues to host its monthly Tzaneen Pears competition, which takes place on the first Saturday of every month.

This fun, fast-paced event consists of two games and is almost always fully booked.
“We at the Tzaneen Bowls Club are excited and eager to welcome more participants,” added Swiglaar.
