And We’re Off…
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!

The game will be “Score 10!”- Play proceeds as normal
- But, rather than only one team counting shot bowls, the closest 4 bowls to the jack will count.
- The closest bowl will count 4, then the next one will count 3, then 2 and finally 1 point.
- This means that although team A is shot, team B could score 6 points.
- If an end is burnt, the burning team will score 3 and the other team will score 7 points.
- Play to be 10 ends.
Sign-up until MONDAY, July 15TH at the club or below.
NOTE: Only the first 48 bowlers are eligible to bowl.
