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

Bowling aids

For bowlers who are having some physical problems and are finding a conventional delivery troublesome, there are two aids that may help:  the UBI launcher and a hacksaw delivery arm.  Both of these can be viewed on YouTube.

We have the UBI launcher and Courtenay lawn bowling club has some of the hacksaw delivery arms.  They have offered to come here to demonstrate these to our members.  I have put up a sign up sheet on the coaching board for anyone interested.  This will probably be in May.
