Garage Sale Thank you

Thank you, thank you to PLBC members, to the donors, buyers, packers, the people that did a dump run, the cashiers, the floor people at the sale and all of PLBC members. Our preliminary total is totally amazing – 4,500.00!  As I said before, “it takes a village to raise a child”.  Thanks for all your help.

Open House and Novice Lesson Help Needed

We are almost at the start of our 2025 season.  Our Open Houses and the week of Novice lessons need your help.  For the Open Houses just show up, help where you can and leave when you want.

The Novice lessons need you for the 2 hours of the lessons, and we need to know that you will be here.  As always, I have no idea how many sessions we will have.  There is a sign up sheet on the coaching board which is now located on the first board as you enter the sun room.  You will be contacted.  If there is a day or a time during that week that you cannot help just make a note with your name.  The lessons will start at 9:30 and, if necessary, a second session will start at 1:00.  If you have any questions, just ask.

Thank you.

Sandi Mitchell, Player Development.

TRAINING IN MEASURING

Do you want to be more confidant in your ability to determine “shot” with a box string measure?

As a Lead in a Pairs game or a Third in a Triples or Fours game it is your job to measure and agree the number of shots with your opposite number.

One on one training is offered with a qualified umpire in a 30 minute session. This will be in the Clubhouse until the green is available, then sometime in April and on, it will be on the green.

Contact Martin at vicepresident@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com with questions or to book a time.

Happy spring to all!

Our opening day is going to be like non other.  Regular bowling and party hardy after.
The details will be shared by April at the meeting April 5th.  We are going to have a 30th anniversary cake made by Nana & Papa’s bakery. Family owned local bakery.
Save the date!  We want all club members to enjoy the fun.

Volunteer(s) for pop & water

I’m looking for a volunteer to take care of pop and water supplies.  Mick has been doing this job for quite sometime and he’s retiring.  Both are purchased at Costco so it’s a matter of one or more persons who shop there to pick the supplies up as needed.  Please contact me if you are able to help out.

Thank you

Baking Needed

Hello to all members.  Hope winter has found you healthy.  Spring is just around the corner and we have a short mat tournament coming up March 22 & 23rd.  It would be much appreciated if you could contribute cookies or squares to have with tea & coffee.  Please put a date on the baking.

Following the tournament there is open house mid April.  So the season is upon us.

Many thanks,
Marg
