Canada Day 2024

Champ/War Amps

The club was happy to host Darevin and his grandparents to our annual fundraising event for the Champ/War Amps.  The weather was perfect.  It was well attended as normal, with 4 teams of 4, and 4 teams of 3.  It was a fun time out on the green.  After the game everyone enjoyed cake and socializing.  Darevin was presented with a cheque for $1,300.00 to go to the War Amps.  He said a few words and is a worthy ambassador of the charity.

Thanks to all who volunteered and participated to make it happen.

 

 

Darevin accepts the donation check for Champs.

Markey Pellow delivers the first bowl of the season

The lawn bowling season  for our Parksville club started off with Markey Pellow rolling the honourary first bowl  of the 2024 outdoor season.  We  had a full slate of 64 people playing fours for the event and experienced four seasons in just under two hours of 12 end play.  It was the typical “wait five minutes and the weather will change” type of situation, but it didn’t seem to matter.  Members were just happy to be outside and enjoying the beautiful greens.  Once again, thanks to the grounds crew who does such an amazing job in making our greens both so beautiful and playable.

Congratulations and best wishes to our novices who either came out and watched or got on the green to play.  We’re so glad that you are a part of our lawn bowling club family.  Happy Bowling!

Could that be #007???

Chuck Benson, our ace photographer, was out the other day and captured this great picture of what initially was though to be James Bond tumbling down to earth in a parachute,  However, upon further investigation, it was clarified that

007 Gooding on his BIG birthday!!!

our sometimes bar tender, ex-British naval fellow  and generally all round good guy Tex Gooding was parachuting to earth to celebrate his 80th birthday.  Apparently it was a little bit more than 80, but COVID seemed to mess up the math a bit.  All in all, Tex…a pretty cool way to celebrate your special day.
