A Draw Master Training/Refresher will be held on April 13, 2026 at 1:00 – 1:45
If you are new to being a Draw Master or would like a refresher on the role of a Draw Master, please join Sandi and Joey in the Draw Room.
No need for preregistration. However, if you plan to attend it would be helpful if you sent an email to games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com
Joey & Sandi
With our Season fast approaching, I am still in need of two Draw Masters:
Thursday – 9:30 am (10 ends)
and
Saturday – 9:30 am (8 ends)
If you are interested in overseeing one of these draws, please send an email to games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com as soon as possible.
I have recently heard that some people think if you are the Draw Master for a particular Draw, you are not able to play in it. That is absolutely incorrect! If you are a Draw Master you can choose to play or not to play, completely up to you.
If you have any questions, please contact games@parksvillelawnbowlingclub.com
Thank you.
As you are aware, our Open House is on April 18 and 19. Some invitations to this event have been put in a pamphlet holder in the sunroom. Feel free to give them out to friends, neighbours, etc.

Proper stretching and exercise is important any time but particularly for preseason!
For important suggestions of exercises to help your bowling see the new Pre-Season Exercises / Tips page on the Bowling/Player Development menu

Our Club is looking for Draw Masters for the following draws:
Tuesday 6:30 pm (perhaps in a Cutthroat format)
Thursday 9:30 am – 10 ends
Saturday 9:30 am – 8 ends
Please contact Joey Merrell if you are interested in overseeing one of these draws.
Thank you.
In the meantime, I have hung up the list on the coaching board in the sunroom. If you decide to use them, realize that they are ones I use but may not be ones you can use. I am not a physical therapist nor a fitness instructor.
