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

In addition to our last day of bowling we are hoping to offer a silent auction AND YOU CAN HELP.

Do you have a service you would be willing to offer to one of your fellow bowlers, such as:

  • Gardening….fall clean up
  • Cleaning Gutters
  • Mowing Lawns
  • House Painting
  • Baking
  • Etc. etc. etc.

Or perhaps you have items to share that would help to create a basket

Some ideas:

  • Golfing accessories or passes
  • Quilted, crocheted , knitted items
  • Jams, jellies, pickles
  • Etc. etc. etc.

Canada Day Activities at the Club- CHAMPS Program is the winner

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Social.

We had a fantastic turnout for our Canada Fun Day.  We had 64 club members  who  turned out in all shades of red and white to celebrate our nation’s big birthday, and to support  the CHAMPS  Program of Canada. This charity event helps to raise money for devices need for child amputees in our area.   This year, our  club did not disappoint, raising over $1320.00 for the cause.  Darevin from CHAMPS received the cheque from club president, Rob Matthews.  First place bragging rights went to the team of Tex Gooding, Brian Larkin and Anne Gudbranson and Anne Pelton.  Second place  a.k.a. the Please Come Back Award went to Gary Steele, Betty Nordick, Dave Thomson and David Stamp.

Thank you to everyone who made this such a happy, fun filled and supportive day for the CHAMPS Program.

Food for Thought

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

Hello all members,

I took on as social director last November at the AGM.  I fully intend on finishing this lawn bowling year, but because of personal health issues with Don, I feel I need to step down.

I will do my best to finish this year out, but if there is anyone that has the time to fill in next year that would be wonderful!

Since the kitchen has been open for meals again, the socializing has increased immensely!  I can certainly help in any way on the side.

This club thrives on social get together.  Please give it a thought to step up.

Sincerely to all,

Marg

Bar Update

Thursday Bar Closing

Due to poor attendance after Thursday afternoon draws the bar will no longer be open after Thursday draws starting in July.  In its place we will begin offering bar service after the Wednesday afternoon draw to see if there is more interest.  I invite you all to stay afterwards and socialize with your fellow members.

Fun and Games for Victoria Day at the Club – Bowlympics Style

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Competition Results, Social.

Our club knows how to party, whether it’s Victoria Day, Canada Day or any of the other wonderful times that we celebrate being Canadian.  We started the season off  right  on May 19th with our annual Bowlympics afternoon.   This annual event, sponsored by RBC Wealth Management,  has been a mainstay of our Victoria Day celebrations for a number of years.  They have been kind enough to provide for all the medals since the inception of this special event, and we are appreciative of their support.     We also had a very special guest honouring us with her presence as well.  Lady English Rose ( a.k.a Mavis Gooding, dressed as Queen Victoria’s great, great great, great, great (I think that’s enough greats) grand-daughter was in attendance.    She brought much joy and humour to the afternoon’s fun events.  As usual, all the volunteers in their various capacities did a wonderful job making sure it was a great afternoon.  Thanks so much to Chuck Benson for the great pics.

Gold medal winners in the event were Donna De Wolfe, Miriam Gunn  and Mavis Gooding. Silver went to Mark Anstey, Barb Campbell and Tex Gooding.  Bronze was earned by Don Urquhart, Linda Burgess and Bros Brosnikoff.
