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!!!

Upcoming Gloria Wilcox Tournament In Need of Your Skills

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Social, Upcoming Competitions.

The final big event  of the lawn bowling season is fast upon us.  The Gloria Wilcox Men’s and Ladies’ Club Triples Tournament happens on September 18th & 19th here at our club.    The Games Committee is looking for a few more players, specifically four women and one man to round out the roster.  If you want to be a part of this event, contact Kathleen Motley.  Contact her at games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com.

Don’t forget that The Battle of the Sexes happens right after this tournament and the top three men’s and women’s team play  off  against each other in a five-end game for the coveted Salmon Can Trophy.  It is an event not to be missed with bragging rights going to the victors.  Could it be the women this year?   Sign up, get on a team and have some fun.

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.

 

Robbie Thomas  telling her bowl just what it had to do at that moment.
