It’s time to clean house and donate your treasures to the Club House from Sunday April 6th through Friday April 11th any time between 10 am and 4 pm on those days only.
Items must be clean and in good working order. We do not accept clothing, shoes or furniture. Please deposit your donation in the ‘Sunroom’ only.
A members-only presale will be held on Friday April 11th from 1pm to 4pm.
There will be a “volunteers sign-up” sheet in the Sunroom, so feel free to add your name and phone number. If assistance is needed we’ll be sure to give you a call.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and we look forward to seeing you there.
I’m looking for a volunteer to take care of pop and water supplies. Mick has been doing this job for quite sometime and he’s retiring. Both are purchased at Costco so it’s a matter of one or more persons who shop there to pick the supplies up as needed. Please contact me if you are able to help out.
Thank you
Marg

Hello to all members. Hope winter has found you healthy. Spring is just around the corner and we have a short mat tournament coming up March 22 & 23rd. It would be much appreciated if you could contribute cookies or squares to have with tea & coffee. Please put a date on the baking.
Following the tournament there is open house mid April. So the season is upon us.
Many thanks,
Marg
For bowlers who are having some physical problems and are finding a conventional delivery troublesome, there are two aids that may help: the UBI launcher and a hacksaw delivery arm. Both of these can be viewed on YouTube.
We have the UBI launcher and Courtenay lawn bowling club has some of the hacksaw delivery arms. They have offered to come here to demonstrate these to our members. I have put up a sign up sheet on the coaching board for anyone interested. This will probably be in May.

It’s a new month, so it must be time for your new Thrifty’s Smile Cards.
This is a great way to support your club, while buying your groceries. Even if Thrifty’s isn’t your regular store to shop at, like all large supermarkets, there are regular specials to be had. These gift cards are available in the amounts of $50, $100 or $200, and must be ordered by Wednesday February 5th. Order yours today by clicking Smile card Order Form. They will be ready for pick up as early as Friday, I’ll let you know the time.
Your club thanks you for your support.
The increase in dues from $208 to $214 for both Membership and Associates was approved at the November 2024 AGM.
Regards,
Rob Matthews, President
Sheila and I would like to send a warm thank you to everyone who donated to the food bank drive this past Christmas.
Through your generous support our club was able to deliver 2 full car loads of food for those in need!

This is a reminder that the last day of short mat, before the Christmas break, is Sunday 15th December.
Short mat and Friday Happy Hour will resume on Tuesday 7th January.
Hope you all have a very happy Christmas and look forwards to a great New Year.
