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!

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.

Thanks to all those who helped organize the event, provide great snacks, assist in the kitchen and help with the cleanup.

A Draw Master Training/Refresher will be held on April 13, 2026 at 1:00 – 1:45
If you are new to being a Draw Master or would like a refresher on the role of a Draw Master, please join Sandi and Joey in the Draw Room.
No need for preregistration. However, if you plan to attend it would be helpful if you sent an email to games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com
Joey & Sandi
With our Season fast approaching, I am still in need of two Draw Masters:
Thursday – 9:30 am (10 ends)
and
Saturday – 9:30 am (8 ends)
If you are interested in overseeing one of these draws, please send an email to games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com as soon as possible.
I have recently heard that some people think if you are the Draw Master for a particular Draw, you are not able to play in it. That is absolutely incorrect! If you are a Draw Master you can choose to play or not to play, completely up to you.
If you have any questions, please contact games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com
Thank you.
As you are aware, our Open House is on April 18 and 19. Some invitations to this event have been put in a pamphlet holder in the sunroom. Feel free to give them out to friends, neighbours, etc.
