Isn’t She Lovely!!!
The Halloween Games Event was recently held at our club, and the winner of the best costume was Diana Olenick, who looked spooktacular in her silver and black dress.
HALLOWEEN GAMES DAY – 2024
This years annual Halloween Games Day took place on Saturday 26th October.
It was well attended by the full complement of 12 mixed triples teams. They all entered into the spirit of the games with many wearing very imaginative costumes. The games played were very much not Bowling orientated. The teams played electronic Tenpin Bowling, Table Curling, Mini Basket Ball, Darts, Corn Hole and Ladder Ball. The games were all very competitive.
After the games the were served with a well-earned beverage and a tasty Chilli and delicious dessert.
The day was rounded off with the presentation of prizes to the winning team of Kate Wilson, Terry Nichols and Gerda Veld.
Two other teams skipped by Diane Cruickshank and Barry Conn tied for first place. A playoff of one dart nearest the bullseye decided the winner.
A Prize of a fantastic Pumpkin Decoration made and donated by Lynne Hutchinson was presented to the winner of the Best Costume – Dianna Olenick.
Thanks to all the participants, including helpers with set up, food preparation, the games and those that helped with the clean up.
Something to Make You Smile
Hi all. The greens have now been put to bed, the awards handed out and the fall/winter activities have begun. However, here is one last picture to enjoy, that of the last day of outdoor bowling at our club for the 2024 season. Thanks to all who took part, thanks to Chuck for the photo and to the weather gods who were smiling on us that day.

Final Club Tournament of the Year Winners Decided
The last major tournament of the year, the Gloria Wilcox Men’s and Women’s Triples Tournament took place on Wednesday and Thursday September 18th and 19th under almost perfect weather conditions. For the men, it was the winning team of Rick Dolley, Howard Auld and Bob Ashton. Martin Fereday, Clive Arthorne and Ken Tait took second, while the team of Andy Burton, Andy Burpee and Tex Gooding rounded out third place.
On the women’s side, Merry Danarti, Leslie Leinweber and Miriam Gunn pulled off a first place finish. Second went to Mary Card, Jeanette Ferguson and Avril Adamson. Third place honours were earned by Sandi Mitchell, Barb Campbell and Donna Dunn.
These top six teams then played off against each other for the coveted Salmon Cup Trophy with the men coming out on top and with that, getting the honours of being this year’s winners. The men earned 4 points, with a +4 differential and 8 ends, while the women got 4 points, a -4 differential and 7 ends.
Some big thank yous go out to the following folks who helped to make this final event a success: Vicki Banks, who came out of retirement to do magic in our kitchen, greens crew, set-up crew, the bar for keeping us hydrated, our club photographer, Chuck Benson, Joey Merrell and Sandi, who were the go-to people for this event, the games committee, Kathleen Motley, all of the players and spectators who came, and to the novice and intermediate players who stepped up and got involved in this tournament.
This tournament officially finishes our outdoor activities and the fun now switches to the indoor ones which begin with mahjong on September 30th. Please check previous entries for times, dates, prices, and coordinators.
