Bartender Volunteers

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

Bartenders

Our club’s success relies on volunteerism. The bar is currently in need of a couple of new bartenders that are able to take on a couple of shifts each month. The only requirement is that you must have a valid “Serve it Right” certificate to work behind the bar. If you do not already have one, there is an online course that can be taken, and upon successful completion the club will reimburse you (approx. $37).
If you are interested and able to volunteer your time, I would love to hear back from you.

Marker Clinic – July 12, 2024 – 9:00 am – 1:00 pm

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

Marker Clinic

Here is an opportunity for bowlers to qualify as a Marker for the first time and for those whose certification expired in 2023 to renew. District Head Umpire Rod Tester will be teaching a half day course in the morning of Friday July 12th here in Parksville.

A marker plays an important role in Singles games, both as a helper to the two players and helping to ensure that certain Laws of the Sport are complied with by both players. The clinic offers a way to improve your own game, your measuring skills and your knowledge of the Laws of the Sport.

The price is right, there is no charge for this clinic. You just need to spend that morning learning.

Follow this link Markers Clinic (Click to register) – Parksville Lawn Bowling Club from the Club Calendar to register, or email Martin Fereday to register or if you want to find out when your certification expires or have any other questions about marking.

Registration deadline is Friday July 5th, one week before the clinic.

Club Head Umpire
