"We found this weekend might work," he said.
Twenty two teams took to the club's greens including visiting teams from as far as Brisbane, Yamba and South West Rocks.
"It was a pretty successful carnival," Stewart said, adding that there was some good bowls played.
The South Tamworth quartet of Phil and Linda O'Reilly, and Joe and Cath Verdich were unbeatable across their five games to claim the $3,200 winners prize purse ahead of the Souths, Willow Tree and West Tamworth combination of Nev White, Chris Myers, and Vicki Kelly and Aaron Kelly.
As for the new green, it was a big thumbs up.
"Everyone liked it," Stewart said.
"It was good to play on."
