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

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

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.

Our club will be featuring Community Appreciation mornings every Friday beginning June 6th to July 4th. During that time, we will be offering a FREE lawn bowling lesson to interested participants.  This offer is being extended to ages 10+ and will give kids AND  adults an opportunity to experience the  fun and basics of the game.  Please wear flat soled shoes  and comfortable clothes.    We supply the bowls…you supply the fun.  Come and see why lawn bowling is a great sport for almost any age.

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.

Christmas Gift Exchange

Christmas Gift Exchange Update

There have been some questions regarding the gift exchange.  I will suggest a gift AROUND the $20 mark.  It’s not mandatory to buy a gift at all, your choice.

It would be a good gesture to donate to the food bank for the people in need!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday for a fun get together!!  There is still room for more to sign up.

If anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me by email or phone.
