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.

HALLOWEEN GAMES DAY – 2024

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know, Social.

This years annual Halloween Games Day took place on Saturday 26th October.

It was well attended by the full complement of 12 mixed triples teams. They all entered into the spirit of the games with many wearing very imaginative costumes. The games played were very much not Bowling orientated. The teams played electronic Tenpin Bowling, Table Curling, Mini Basket Ball, Darts, Corn Hole and Ladder Ball. The games were all very competitive.

After the games the were served with a well-earned beverage and a tasty Chilli and delicious dessert.

The day was rounded off with the presentation of prizes to the winning team of Kate Wilson, Terry Nichols and Gerda Veld.

Two other teams skipped by Diane Cruickshank and Barry Conn tied for first place. A playoff of one dart nearest the bullseye decided the winner.

A Prize of a fantastic Pumpkin Decoration made and donated by Lynne Hutchinson was presented to the winner of the Best Costume – Dianna Olenick.

Thanks to all the participants, including helpers with set up, food preparation, the games and those that helped with the clean up.

Hi all.  The greens have now been put to bed, the awards handed out and the fall/winter activities have begun.  However, here is one last picture to enjoy, that of the last day of outdoor bowling at our club for the 2024 season.  Thanks to all who took part, thanks to Chuck for the photo and to the weather gods who were smiling on us that day.

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!!!

And Now…for Something Completely Different

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

As lawn bowlers, we all have our own little routines, tells and rituals.  However, this was a little different and for something fun, and with Robbie’s permission, we thought we would share this action picture.  At that particular moment, Robbie was seen and heard talking to her bowl.  It must have worked because both she and Wayne Larocque won the tournament.
