George Gibson a Wrap

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Competition Results, Upcoming Competitions.

The ever popular George Gibson Tournament was held September 4th and 5th  and had a solid turnout to the event.  Players came from Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay as the Parksville Lawn Bowling Club hosted the tournament.

Winners of this year’s event was the team of Rick Quibell, Mary Mulligan and John Kendal from Nanaimo and Courtenay.  Second place was our own Andy Burton, Sandi Mitchell and Peter Scott.  Nanaimo’s Adrian and Kathleen Hewitt and Chris Windress took home third place.  Parksville’s Bob Ashton, Miriam Gunn and Betty Nordick came in at fourth place.

A big round of thanks go out to Lynn in the kitchen, Colleen who umpired for both days, the bartenders who kept us hydrated, Marg and Gerda and their awesome computer skills, the grounds crew who made a great green for us to play on, the clean-up and put away folks, Chuck for his photos, Joey for organizing this event and all the participants who came and played as well as the gallery who came out to watch.

This was the last of the open tournaments to be held this year at the Parksville club.  Next up is the Gloria Wilcox Men’s and Women’s Triples to be held September 18th and 19th.  Immediately after that event is over, the mini-tournament for the prized Salmon Can Trophy will take place as part of the Battle of the Sexes Tournament.  Bring your pompoms and best voices to cheer on your respective teams.  This one will be a lot of fun.
