New Date Set for Club Singles Tournament

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

The smoke from both the Wesley Ridge and Mount Underwood fires burning close to Port Alberni have affected our tournament play date.  We will now have the semifinals on Sunday, August 17th at 10 A.M. and the finals will be at 1 P.M. that same day.   By that time, the rain and smoke are supposed to have cleared off  a bit, and we should be in a good, healthy position in which to play.  In the meantime, everyone stay healthy and indoors if you can.  Apparently, this morning, our area (Parksville and environs) had  the worst air quality in the WORLD.

Rob Matthews, 15 players, 5 coaches and three helpers showed up at 6 pm Friday 8th for an introduction to lawn bowling to the newcomers.

The event was a success and it looks like we will gain some new members for both the short mat and 2026 season.

A big thank you to Shelley MacLeod and the others for a great evening.

Club Singles Reminder

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Need to Know, Upcoming Competitions.

We are Short on Men Participants

This is a reminder of the club singles being played on August 12-14.  The registration for this tournament closes on August 5.

At this time, I need 3 more men to participate so that all who have signed up will be able to play.  If you are playing in the novice or intermediate singles you may still play in the singles on August 12-14.
