Qualicum Beach & Parksville – Interclub Open Draw Exchange

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.

Qualicum Beach Club Draws
Sunday 13.30 draw (10 ends)
Wednesday 10:00 draw (10 ends)

Parksville Club Draws
Tuesday 13.00 draw (14 ends)
Thursday 09.30 draw (12 Ends)

Note that members can only use their home green for practice.

We hope this will build friendship and fun for both clubs.
