Have Some Indoor Fun This Winter

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

Our neighbours up the road at the Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club  are having an Open House on September 28 & 29th from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M.  The club’s indoor green  offers  three rinks identical in play to the outdoor ones  with regulation width and length.   Playing in Qualicum during the winter is  a great way to stay active, hone skills and meet new people as well.  So,  get out of the rain and into the fun and do a little indoor lawn bowling.  The Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club is located at 665 Jones St. in Q.B. Check  out their website at www.qblbc.ca for more details.

Sky High Celebration

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

Ace photographer Chuck Benson  recently took this wonderful photo of our effervescent friend and lawn bowling pro, Mavis Gooding.  She had just jumped out of a plane and was sailing along on  the thermals with her parachute and her instructor.    All this on the occasion of her 80th birthday.  All we can say is “Congratulations, Mavis, on a jump well done, and a very Happy Birthday to you.”

What a way to celebrate your 80th, Mavis!!!
