Parksville Pairs Tournament Winners
June 17, 2024
Parksville Lawn Bowling Club
The Two day Parksville Open Pairs Tournament sponsored by Hearing Life was held on June 15th and 16th. There were some truly tight games this past weekend and there were a number of winners in their divisions coming from different clubs. The games were played in a winner plays winner format. In A Division, first place and the trophy went to Dean Penny and Shelley McCollum from Courtenay. Second in A went to our own Rick Dolley and Sandi Mitchell. In first place in B Division were Parksville’s Merry Danarti and Bob Allaby. Second in B went to another Parksville team, that of Mary and Kent Card. Rounding out the final top placements were the Nanaimo club’s C and D with Ian and Anne Yewer and Vern Hagstrom and Linda Cooper. Winners of their final games were the teams of James MacDonald and Darlene Opacic from Qualicum Beach (D), April Gilchrist and Vern Greenhill (C) from Courtenay, Ken and Carol Bucyk (B) from Parksville and Diane Cruickshank and Bill Burgess (A) of Parksville as well. A very big thank you goes out to Lynn and the kitchen magicians who kept us supplied with goodies, the grounds crew who always do a fabulous job, our bartending crew who kept us hydrated, the umpires who gave of their time, and to Joey Merrell who undertook her first running of a tournament. Well done, everyone. Not to be forgotten, our ace cub photographer, Chuck Benson, who took numerous pics of the days’ events. Once again, a special thanks to Hearing Life who made this whole event possible.
Sandi Mitchell and Rick Dolley, second place winners in A Division.
D Division Winners from Nanaimo were Vern Hagstrom and Linda Cooper.

1:30 QB & PLBC – Interclub Open Draw Exchange @ QB 10 Ends
Category
Parksville and Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Clubs have reached agreement so that club members can play in specified open draw matches in the other club without payment of visitor fees starting Sunday, June 15, 2025.
Initially, there will be a limit of 8 “exchange” tags offered on a first come/first served basis.
Process
• A visiting member shows their membership card to the draw-master and is given a “Guest” Tag. (Qualicum has some Parksville specific tags.)
• The visitor writes name, skill level (L – Lead/Second; T – Third; S – Skip) and club identifier (P or QB if needed) on Tag and hands it back to draw-master.
• The Draw will occur normally with the draw-master ensuring a good mix of guests and locals.
• Visiting skips may be offered skip positions at the discretion of the draw-master.
Here is the initial list of weekly open draws offered under this arrangement.

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).
