Thank you to Everyone!

Club Members:

I wish to thank the members that helped me during my episode at the club.

Thanks also to those that have wished me well.

With gratitude….Ray Dobson

Successful Open House

Another successful open house weekend and so much nicer weather than last year.  Thank you to everyone for the time you spent at the open house.  You helped make it a success.

We have 30 signed up for lessons and 5 more contacting me when they return from travels.

Sandi Mitchell,  Player Development

Garage Sale Thank You

A huge thank you to all who donated items, to all those who volunteered their time setting up, working the actual sale and the ensuing cleanup.  This function would not have been possible without you.

For your efforts, the Garage Sale brought in excess of $4,700 to our club coffers!

White Shirt Orders

I am going to put in an order for white shirts with Parksville Lawn Bowling Club embroidered on them.  Cost is $30, $32, $34 depending on size.

An order sheet will be posted on a board in the sunroom along with the spec sheets.  I also have 2 ladies sized samples which will be hanging around.

I will be putting in an order on May 6.

FYI:  When you bowl in an open tournament and some club tournaments, all team members have to be dressed in the same colours.  White shirts are the easiest to match.  Which is not to say you can’t wear white shirts with the club name on them at all times.
