Parksville Teams Come Home Winners in Powell River
August 14, 2024
Parksville Lawn Bowling Club
If you’ve ever been to Powell River, you will know that it has an absolutely beautiful setting for its lawn bowling club. On August 8th, the Powell River Lawn Bowling Club hosted its annual one day Mixed Triples Tournament and our Parksville club sent three teams across the water to participate. Overall winners of the tournament were Dean Penny, Linda Meers and Vern Greenhill of the Courtenay club. In second place was the team of Bob Allaby, Joey Merrell and Bob Merrell. Third went to our own Luise Norman, Karen Perrin and Martin Perrin.
Hospitality is always great at this historic club which has only 32 members. They all pitch in to provide snacks, drinks and even rides to and from the ferry. If you ever get the opportunity to go over to the Powell River Lawn Bowling Club, do it. The tournament and the experience are definitely worth it.
Many thanks to Bob Allaby who provided the details of this tournament for this article.

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.
