Novice and Intermediate Bowlers Shine in Club Tournament

It was pretty hot in Parksville on the weekend, but even hotter on the green as the novice and intermediate lawn bowlers took to the green to showcase their skills.  The Club Singles Novice and Intermediate  Championship   started on Saturday morning and wound up on Sunday afternoon with the final winners declared in both the men’s and women’s event.    On the men’s side, the novice winner was James Sloan.  Intermediate winner was Bob Merrell who was also the overall  winner of both Group A & B.  On the women’s novice side,  Debbie Taylor came through to capture her  event, while the Women’s Intermediate Championship went to Karen Perrin.

A very big thank you goes out to the following : the set-up and take down crew, greens people, markers, Lynn in the kitchen, bartenders, Chuck Benson (photos),  Sandi Mitchell (ump. etc.), spectators, games committee and to the players who made this all possible.

On August 10th and 11th, the above winners will represent our club in the District Championships to be held in Port Alberni.  Our winner from last year, Bob Ashton, has also been invited back to Port Alberni to defend his title.  If you can, please come out and support your fellow club members in this event.  Carol Bucyk
