The biennial Asia Pacific Championships are now underway in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This event features Tawa's Dale Lang in the triples and fours (see below).

The World Champion of Champions Singles event is underway in Ayr, Scotland for all winners of their respective National Singles Championship. New Zealand is represented by Richard Collett from Papakura and Sue Wightman from Hakaru in Northland.
