The Bowls NZ Board has received a number of submissions requesting that the NZ Gold Star be restricted to winners of the NZ National Open Championship titles only and that a new award (different name) be available to players who win 5 or more other National titles. National events that would count towards the new award would be the National Club Singles, pairs, triples and Fours; National Mixed Pairs; National Interclub (Division 1); National Intercentre. All current Gold Star winners will retain their current status and if a new award is agreed it will be applicable to events starting in the 2014/2015 season.
