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

Community Appreciation Mornings at the Club
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
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.

HALLOWEEN GAMES DAY – 2024
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.
