Coaching for Singles

Coaching for Singles

On July 12, 19 and 26 we will be coaching novices on how to play singles. Singles play is a little different from normal play in that obviously, it is only you against one person. You will have a marker to help with the mechanics of play, (setting jack, etc.) but the rest is up to you. If you plan on entering the novice or intermediate singles competition and would like to come to these coaching sessions you are more than welcome as well.

Parksville Women Shine in Qualicum

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Competition Results, Need to Know.

There was a little sun, a little rain and a whole lot of success for the Parksville women’s teams playing in Qualicum Beach this past weekend.   The Sylvia Gibb Tournament, sponsored by Katherine Wilk of Royal LePage drew a number of women’s teams from around the district, with the Parksville women claiming four of the top six spots.

Number one went to the winning team of Diane Cruickshank and Ann Holland, while number two went to the  Qualicum Beach mother-daughter team of Luci and Suzanne Ewen.  In third place was our own Luise Norman and Sue Tompkins.  Kathleen Sherry and Karen Ungar of Nanaimo took fourth.  Sandi Mitchell and Karen Perrin earned a fifth place finish while Roberta Stets and Jeanette Ferguson rounded out the winning side with a sixth place finish.

 

On behalf of the Parksville Lawn Bowling Club, we’d like to thank the good folks at Qualicum including the kitchen crew, the groundskeepers, bartenders who kept us hydrated , Garry Campbell for the music, photos, bar and those really cool looking tights.    We’d also like to extend a thank you to the Ewen family who took on this tournament to run it, and to Katherine Wilk  of Royal Lepage for her sponsorship.

We Want You to Have Some Fun!!! Calling All Tenderfoot and Novice Players

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Need to Know, Upcoming Competitions.

This is the time of year when things really get underway in the lawn bowls community with all kinds of opens, tourneys etc., BUT there is only one event  designed specifically for tenderfoot and novice players.   This year, we are looking for people who want to HAVE FUN, PLAY ON A TEAM,  and are either a TENDERFOOT (those who began playing in 2021 or later) and NOVICES (those who started this year).    Teams are comprised of two tenderfoot players and one novice.  It’s a great way to get on the green and play with people with a similar skill set and who, just  like you, want to enjoy the game and have some fun doing it.   If this tweaks your interest, even just a little, go to Opentournaments@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com and check it out.

Bartender Volunteers

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

Bartenders

Our club’s success relies on volunteerism. The bar is currently in need of a couple of new bartenders that are able to take on a couple of shifts each month. The only requirement is that you must have a valid “Serve it Right” certificate to work behind the bar. If you do not already have one, there is an online course that can be taken, and upon successful completion the club will reimburse you (approx. $37).
If you are interested and able to volunteer your time, I would love to hear back from you.
