Week of April 8 – 14, 2024
Garage Sale
Thank you to those of you who helped out in some capacity. A special shout out to Lynne Hutchinson. We couldn’t have done it without you! I often went to the club and found Lynne busy pricing items all by herself. Lynne, it did not go unnoticed. Since Qualicum had their garage sale on the same day it was decided that we would promote each others event. That had a positive impact on our sales. We are still reviewing the contribution that having the container on site to our bottom line. Since the kitchen is closed until further notice maybe filling it up with garage sale items would be a good interim use. We thus avoid the container cost. Our minds are now busy exploring avenues to increase the number and value of the merchandise we are able to offer. Our numbers are down slightly from the previous couple of years but still respectable. As always, any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Baking
We have a couple of events coming up this month; the open houses and the novice lessons. Although not necessary it is nice to be able to refreshments in the way of tea, coffee and goodies. To that end we need some baking. Please put what you bring into the freezer.
Thank you very much, Sandi Mitchell

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.
