Visitors to the Club

Just to bring to your attention, if a visiting bowler from another club wants to bowl at our club ( not an associate member)  the fee is $5.00 each time.   If they are to borrow bowls another $5.00 fee to be paid to the  drawmaster and put in the money box in an envelope on the back of the cupboard door. Kathleen Motley

Website Launch

Don’t forget to join us Friday after the Looney Draw for the launch of our new website. Everyone welcome.

Bowlympics

Join us next Monday, Victoria Day, for our annual Bowlympics competition. Help your team win a gold, silver or bronze medal. Tags in by 12:45 and we will be playing 8 ends. Join us in the club house after the game for the medal presentation ceremony. Tea, coffee, cake and ice cream will be served. The bar will also be open.

Measuring Clinic – May 26 at 9:30

Martin Fereday, our head umpire, will be holding a measuring clinic for this year’s novices. All novices from this year and any from last year who did not participate in a measuring clinic are encouraged to attend. Knowing how and what to measure is an important part of the game. The duty does fall to thirds but every now and again you may be playing in a position that requires you to know how. It is also one of the skills you must know before moving up to the next position. See you Friday. Some coaching for those who need help with line, weight and delivery will also be available. Sandi Mitchell, Player Development

UBI Launcher Demonstration

Mark your calendars! On June 2 rather than regular coaching we will be giving a demonstration on the use of the UBI launcher. If you are wondering what it is or why it is, come out at 9:30 to see. 

Receipts not yet claimed, for all membership fees paid and also your bowls BC cards, are in a ziploc bag hanging on the tag board. They should be in alphabetical order. Please collect your receipt and card. Social members do not need a bowls BC card.

Thursday Morning Bowling

Go for the Gold

Due to strong turnout for Thursday afternoon draws we will begin offering bar service every Thursday starting May 11.  Please plan to stay and enjoy a drink with your fellow bowlers. Bill Burgess

Membership Updates

An order of name tags came in. If you ordered before the end of April you should find your badge in the draw room on the table under the tag board. A second order went in last week, so if you don’t see your name tag it should come next week.

Anyone still needing to order a name tag please let me know ASAP    $15 for either a magnet or pin.

Changes of address or phone number

Several members have given up their land line and are using only cell phones now. If that applies to you and you have not let me know please advise me of this, or any other changes, in your contact information.

Kathleen Arthorne, Membership director

Moving the photos over from the old website to the new is a huge job and we need help to get it done!

It is NOT hard; just repetitive. The only requirements are a few computer skills (nothing difficult), and a bit of organizational skills. It can be done bit by bit when you have time.

If YOU can help, please contact either Murray Sinclair or Don Urquhart.

Laws of the Sport new edition is now available to be ordered from Bowls Canada.  The club will not be stocking spare copies but will order copies for anyone who would like one.  So far 8 people have indicated their interest.   I will be placing an order May 4.  The cost will be approximately $15.  Please contact me to be added to the list.    Cheryl Baker ameelynnbaker@gmail.com
