Fun Day 2019

Sometimes there is no specific reason - just for the fun of it. On a hot Saturday afternoon, everyone got confused. Maybe by the heat, but mostly by the bizzarre games we were faced with. Many of the pictures below reflect the head-scratching, rule-consulting, complex counting we were faced with. But it was a fun time, topped by BBQ and pot-luck salads and sweets. This event took lots of volunteers to set up and run. Thanks to them all.

White Night 2019

What a beautiful night to bowl under the lights! Good turn-out for a George's treat, a 10-end game and Kevin's cheesecake afterward. Wow!!

It was hot, hot, HOT!! But with a cold lunch plate and plenty of water we managed to survive. Thanks to Peter Boudreau for organization, the kitchen staff directed by Susan Wroe, Lew Withrow for grounds supervision and all their associated volunteers. We also much appreciated having Margaret Embree and family present to represent the Christies. The background balloon was not hired by us, but it was a nice touch.....

Canada Day 2019

The day started out cold and wet but we persisted. By the time we finished a game of spider, a10-end bowls game and had our coffee and sundaes, it was actually bright outside! New members were presented with their name tags, and a presentation was made to the winning team in the 10-end game (Hector, Stephanie, and Sharon).

Janet Merry Mixed Pairs Tournament, June 2019

Open House, 2019

It was a wet day in May (as might be expected this year!) but quite a few intrepid souls turned out to see what the game of lawn bowls is all about. We had lots of volunteers with the enthusiasm and energy to keep our visitors interested. Many signed on for further training and we hope for lots of new members from this effort.

Thanks to everyone who participated.
