Club Triples Update!

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Need to Know, Upcoming Competitions.

As expected, the sign up for the Club Triples has been brisk!  As of today we have filled all the spots for Skips, Thirds and Leads with one Skip on a the Spare list.

We have turned off online registrations at this time.  However, if you are still interested in playing one or both days, please send Joey an email at  games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com or add your name to the list posted in the Sunroom.  Your name will then be added to the Spares List.

With two weeks to go before the event, we can expect there will be some adjustments on player availability and it is always great to have some people willing to play.

Thank you.
Joey

Courtenay Open Tournaments

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Upcoming Competitions.

There is Space in Two Tournaments.

The Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club is hosting two more open tournaments this year and has space in both.

Men’s Classic Pairs:  June 19, 20, 21.  This is a 3 day tournament with 2 games on Friday, 3 games on Saturday, and then possibly 2 games on Sunday. This cost is $100/team.

2-4-2 Pairs (Gender Neutral):  August 1, 2.  This is always a fun and popular tournament.  I am hoping to copy what we just had with our Scotch Pairs tournament and have a full slate of 32 teams.  We are over 20 at this time.  Lots of time, but I am confident, this one is going to fill up.
If you are interested in playing in either one of these events, please contact Glen at games@courtenaylawnbowlingclub.com.

Hate Weeds?

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Need to Know.

Come out Monday mornings around 8:00 and you can join the weeding party.  Bring a kneeling pad and scratcher if you have them.  If you don’t have either we will find one for you.  After the weeding party we all get to enjoy the coffee and goodies from Geoff’s Bistro.

Bar News

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Need to Know, Social.

Effective immediately there will no longer be bar service after Wednesday afternoon draws due to lack of participation by members.

The bar will continue to be open after Friday and Sunday draws, all tournaments, and special events.
