Club Fundraiser – Thrifty Smile Cards
Jack and Jill Tournament
Just a reminder that the Jack and Jill tournament is being held on the 19th and 20th of July. For this tournament Jill (the lady) invites Jack (a man) to be her partner. Please only one designated skip per team and not the same partner as last year. So Jills, get out there and invite your Jack before they are all taken. For more information Kathleen Motley, Games Director.
Measuring Clinic – May 26, 2023 @ 9:30
Martin Fereday, our head umpire, will be holding a measuring clinic for this year’s novices. All novices from this year and any from last year who did not participate in a measuring clinic are encouraged to attend. Knowing how and what to measure is an important part of the game. The duty does fall to thirds but every now and again you may be playing in a position that requires you to know how. It is also one of the skills you must know before moving up to the next position. See you Friday. Some coaching for those who need help with line, weight and delivery will also be available.
AED Demonstration – June 27, 2023
An AED demonstration will be offered at the PLBC clubhouse (non certified) at no cost. The demonstration will take place on Tuesday June 27th at 1:30 pm. (There is a limit of approximately 10 people). If you are interested, please contact Trevor Motley.

Please sign up so that we can estimate what will be needed.
Fun and Food Night – June 15, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
The first Fun & Food night will be held on Thursday, June 15th @ 5:00 pm. The meal will be a selection of pizzas with dessert, tea and coffee being served after a 10-end game of Score 10, as 10 points will be awarded in each end and both teams can score. The sign-up sheet will be posted in the sun room early this Tuesday and last day to sign up will be Monday, June 12th. The cost will be $9.00 per person, paid when you arrive . It is the policy that if you sign up and fail to appear, you are expected to pay for your order, IF 24 hours prior notice of cancelling is not received by me. There is a place on the sheet for members who wish to eat but not play to sign up as well as a place for members who wish to play but not join in on the meal. Hope to see you there!
