As many of you know we are continuing to have issues with members not receiving email sent from the club. This was the major reason why we upgraded our web site, and it has continued to get worse, and is likely to continue degrading in the future thanks, mainly, to the prevalence of spammers. While we would STRONGLY encourage all members to use the web site as their source of club information there are times when we would like to reach out via email.

You can help!

We want ALL MEMBERS to do the following:

1. Make sure we have your correct email address.
2. Check your spam folder for club messages and, if found, mark them as NOT SPAM.
3. Add any parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com email address you want to receive message from to your email address book, such as mmm@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com
4. Whitelist @parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com. Whitelisting is a process of saying “I WANT to receive mail from these people”. Follow the instructions on the web site help page which can be accessed here: Site Help

None of these steps are going to guarantee delivery; email has always been unreliable and it’s just getting worse.

If you know of someone who is NOT getting emails, be sure you tell them about this post.

If you have questions or need help, contact the web team.

Due to the problems some cell phone users were having with time zones we have changed the format, that we hope you will find cleaner and easier to use!

All events are now preceded by either the start time of the event, or “All Day” for full day events, and the “Local Time:….” is gone.

As always, for the additional details of the event click on the event to open it.

Hope you like the new look.

The credentials that all members will use for the Members Only area of the web site have been sent to all full members that I have email addresses for. I apologize for the format of the message some of you received; coffee hadn’t kicked in! Just scroll down to the bottom to see the message.

If you have not received an email, let me know and I will give the credentials to you. Rember, PLEASE DO NOT SHARE with non-members as the information in this area is private.

WaldoChuckles    has gone missing & we need your help to find him! He has also developed a (??more??) split personality that means he thinks there are 3 of him! (This post & the trophy picture DO NOT count!!)

At some point Mon. 22^nd, he (they?) will reappear on our new website. Your job is to find him and tell us where he is. All entrants with correct answers will be entered into a draw for a valuable (& tasty) prize. Find 1 Chuckles you get 1 entry, find 2 and you get 3! Find all 3 and you get 6 entries. Please be specific on your answers; minimum what page he is on and where he is on that page.

Entries are to be done using the Contact form which can be found on the Contact page and will be accepted until Thur. June 1st with the draw on Friday after the draw.

Moving the photos over from the old website to the new is a huge job and we need help to get it done!

It is NOT hard; just repetitive. The only requirements are a few computer skills (nothing difficult), and a bit of organizational skills. It can be done bit by bit when you have time.

If YOU can help, please contact either Murray Sinclair or Don Urquhart.
