We are hoping to run 10 End Draws on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, tags in by 6:15 for a 6:30 start. However, we do not have a Draw Master for Thursday evenings. Please let me know if you are willing and able to pick up a few Thursdays for the month of July. If we are not able to secure a Draw Master for Thursday evenings, the Draws will be removed from the calendar.
Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has come forward to put your name on the Spares List.
I believe we have a sufficient number of spares at this time and I intend to reach out to each of you by the middle of next week to let you know if you will be playing and/or on which days and/or times.

As of July 7 we will be moving our Wednesday night Draw to Tuesday night with tags in by 6:15 for a 10 end Draw.
We currently do not have a Draw Master for this Draw. Could you please contact Joey at games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com if you are interested in overseeing this Draw.
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.

Hope to see you July 1st for a fun game and thank you for supporting this good cause.
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.
