Port Alberni Strawberry Bowl Winners
It was another busy lawn bowling weekend, this time in Port Alberni. June 28th and 29th saw the men and women playing in some very warm temperatures, and the bowling was pretty hot, too.
In first place for the women, it was our club’s Merry Danarti and Sandi Mitchell earning the honours and repeating from last year. Second place went to Nanaimo’s Frances Tester and Kathleen Hewitt.
On the men’s side, Vern Greenhill and Dean Penny took home first place, while our own Bob Allaby and Bob Merrell (The Bobs), earned second place.
A very big thank you goes out to everyone from the Port Alberni Lawn Bowling Club who made this such a fun and successful event.

Courtenay’s team of Shelly McCallum, Beth Perrier and Leone King earned third place, while the host club team of Helen Roberts, Denis Hooper and Nancy Blue took fourth.

Golden Day for Parksville Team
Wow! It was quite a weekend for lawn bowling in Nanaimo. Teams from the zone competed in the very popular Imagine Cruises Gold Bowl which had a very generous prize pool of over $2700.00 and paid to the 8th place finish. Best of all, our own Parksville team consisting of Chris and Martin Fereday and Peter Scott took home top prize money and will have their names engraved on the trophy for this year. Results are as follows:
First: Martin and Chris Fereday, Peter Scott – Parksville. Second was the Erik, Suzanne and Luci Ewen family of Qualicum Beach. Vern Greenhill, Henri Saucier and Sandy Tonnellier came third. Kathleen Sherry, Karen Hungar and Donn Sherry of Nanaimo took fourth. Mick Banks, Aase McMullin of Parksville and Charles McIntyre of QB earned fifth spot. Ian Yewer, Fred Hulke and Ann Yewer of Nanaimo placed sixth. Mike Ward, Helen Roberts and John Eyre of the Qualicum club took seventh, and rounding out the top eight was the Nanaimo team of Vern Hagstrom, Lynn Chwartacki and David Ruckman. Thanks to all of the participants and congratulations to all of the winners. Next up, is the Mixed Triples Tournament in Port Alberni. See you there!
