MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
A reminder that the 2024 membership fees are now due.

Thanks to all those members who have already renewed. In order to accommodate 26 new members, I will need to update the tag board in the draw room. If you have not renewed your membership your tag may be removed. To avoid this please advise me if you plan to renew soon. I would also appreciate knowing whether or not you intend to keep your locker.

First Bowl of 2024
Well wasn’t it great to be out on the green again!
The first Bowl was bowled by Markey Pellow, who joined the club 29 years ago and is still an avid bowler with the club.
Sixty four members ( 5 novices) joined in the draw. A little rain didn’t deter the bowlers as shortly the sun appeared and it was a wonderful afternoon.
A social time was held after the draw in the club house, providing an opportunity to meet our novices and friends after the winter break.
Enjoy the coming bowling season with draws, club tournaments, open tournaments, fun days and leagues.
GREAT BOWLING

We will be holding a coaching clinic on July 14 at 1:00.
The clinic is for all members of all skills. We will be discussing the role of the ‘third’ or vice skip. Topics discussed, but not limited to, will be the role and duties of the vice, what and how to communicate with your skip, making decisions on who is shot, etc. We will then go outside to discuss what could be played with the various sample heads that will be set up. You will not need any equipment. Bring any questions you may have.
Sign up below or there is a sign up sheet at the club on the coaching bulletin board (the first one as you come into the sunroom).
