What’s Happening
It’s Time for the Gloria Wilcox…and a Whole Lot of Fun
August 23, 2024
Parksville Lawn Bowling Club
Believe it or not, September is just around the corner and that means all kinds of great tournaments are on the horizon before we wrap up the outdoor lawn bowling season. One of the best is the Gloria Wilcox Men’s and Women’s Tournament happening on September 18th & 19th here at our club. There will be 4 – 14 end games with a $10.00 entry fee per person. Lucky players could win bag tags, trophies and cash prizes. Registration begins August 26th and the cut-off date is September 12th. Register as individuals and the teams will then be announced.
Along with the tournament, the ever popular Battle of the Sexes will be happen again this year. The five-end game will determine who gets to hoist the beautiful Salmon Cup Trophy for 2024. The top three men’s and women’s teams will be vying for this masterpiece, a great example of true west coast art. A perfectly cylindrical salmon can in a lovely black matte finish which sits affixed a piece of genuine B.C. scrap lumber will be there for the winners to hold and celebrate. It’s a lot of fun to watch and cheer on your favourite team. Sign up, have fun and we’ll see you on the green.

We will be holding a coaching clinic on July 14 at 1:00.
The clinic is for all members of all skills. We will be discussing the role of the ‘third’ or vice skip. Topics discussed, but not limited to, will be the role and duties of the vice, what and how to communicate with your skip, making decisions on who is shot, etc. We will then go outside to discuss what could be played with the various sample heads that will be set up. You will not need any equipment. Bring any questions you may have.
Sign up below or there is a sign up sheet at the club on the coaching bulletin board (the first one as you come into the sunroom).
