This is a great way to support your club while doing your grocery shopping. Use these gift cards to make your purchases at Thrifty Foods; it’s just like using cash. Be sure to show your Scene Card when shopping to earn additional discounts. It’s a win-win. The club will profit up to 6% of sales, depending on how many we buy. They are available in denominations of $50, $100, or $200.
They still have spaces for their Open Tournament on August 7 and look forward to hosting our club members. A bus has been arranged to pick up teams at the ferry terminal. Registration information is in the poster below:
I took on as social director last November at the AGM. I fully intend on finishing this lawn bowling year, but because of personal health issues with Don, I feel I need to step down.
I will do my best to finish this year out, but if there is anyone that has the time to fill in next year that would be wonderful!
Since the kitchen has been open for meals again, the socializing has increased immensely! I can certainly help in any way on the side.
This club thrives on social get together. Please give it a thought to step up.
The Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club has invited us to send a team or more of 3 men to their Two-Bowl Six-Pack Tournament on July 15 and 16. Check out the attached poster for all the details and registration information.
Contrary to general opinion, the outside gardeners were only hired to perform labour intensive activities that are physically challenging for our membership.
To date, they have weeded all of the perimeter rock and plant areas, spread bark mulch and removed turf under the Japanese Maple to simplify mowing. Their next project is the pruning of all bushes around the green and building to remove spring growth.
Their efforts have reduced the maintenance needed to a minimal amount, but volunteer help is still needed for continuing grass maintenance, weeding, and dead heading.
In addition to gardening, we also have some painting projects including:
South east side of clubhouse exterior and fasciae.
Yellow safety markings.
Refinish the PLBC signs on the south side of the clubhouse and above the rear double door.
Paint and brushes are available. Please contact Andrew for more information
Please join us on Monday mornings between 7.30 – 9.00 am to help out. We have tools and equipment to help, and provide coffee and maybe cakes and cookies. Please bring your own gloves.
One other item is the repair of lower portions of some of the new scoreboards. The ¾” pvc pipe on some has snapped and these are currently held together with tape. My thoughts are that ¾” dowelling could repair/replace the broken parts and avoid rebuilding the whole board, but I am sure there is someone out there with a better solution. Please let me know if you want to tackle this.
REMINDER: CANADA DAY and WAR AMPS 2025 FUN BOWLING EVENT
Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2025 Time: 1:00 PM (Tags in by 12:45) Entry Fee: MINIMUM $5 (All proceeds go to CHAMP/War Amp charity) Bar Open Dress Code: Wear something red or white (or both!) Bring your Canadian Flags!
Due to poor attendance after Thursday afternoon draws the bar will no longer be open after Thursday draws starting in July. In its place we will begin offering bar service after the Wednesday afternoon draw to see if there is more interest. I invite you all to stay afterwards and socialize with your fellow members.
To all our baking ladies, we had a successful pairs tournament this past weekend and lots of our baking disappeared! The triples tournament is in a couple of weeks and more donations would be VERY much appreciated. Please label and date your baking.
