Sky High Celebration

September 11, 2024

Parksville Lawn Bowling Club

Ace photographer Chuck Benson recently took this wonderful photo of our effervescent friend and lawn bowling pro, Mavis Gooding. She had just jumped out of a plane and was sailing along on the thermals with her parachute and her instructor. All this on the occasion of her 80th birthday. All we can say is “Congratulations, Mavis, on a jump well done, and a very Happy Birthday to you.”

Carol Bucyk

What a way to celebrate your 80th, Mavis!!!

Miscellaneous

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).
