Our opening day is going to be like non other. Regular bowling and party hardy after.
The details will be shared by April at the meeting April 5th. We are going to have a 30th anniversary cake made by Nana & Papa’s bakery. Family owned local bakery.
Save the date! We want all club members to enjoy the fun.

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

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.

Request for Draw Masters
It is only 11 weeks until our Opening Day! The 2025 schedule is being worked on and dates are beginning to be posted on our Club calendar. Please check the calendar to see when your favorite draw/league/tournament is happening this Spring/Summer. We are currently seeking some draw masters for draws happening on Wednesdays (12 ends), Fridays (12 ends and will be the looney/tooney draw) and Saturday afternoons (10 ends). If you have a experience as a Draw Master fantastic! If not, still fantastic! Training and support will be provided to you.
Please contact Joey if you would like to participate with our Club as a Draw Master.

available. The cost is $35 per book with $10 coming back
to the Club. These coupons represent businesses and eateries
from Campbell River to Victoria with quite a number in our
Parksville/Qualicum region. A sample booklet is available at
the Club House for you to peruse.
