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.
