Friday Morning Coaching

Friday morning coaching is there for all players, all levels of play, who are looking for help with any part of their game. Your coaches will have set up different challenges for you to practice which will help you if you want to improve your game skills. If you need help and cannot make the Friday morning session, please let me know through our website under Player Development and we can find a better time. You may also request the help of any of the coaches.

Bowlympics a Big Hit at Parksville Club

Written by Carol Bucyk on . Posted in Competition Results, Need to Know.

Bronze Medal Winners Mary Card, Diana Olenick and Roger Taylor with the ever handsome Detritus.
Gold medal winners Trevor Motley, Kathleen Motley, Detritus and Nadine Kilkenny.

 

 

Brian Larkin, Detritus, Miriam Gunn, Jeff McEachern and Peter Scott, Silver Medal winners.

This year’s Bowlympics was played under sunny skies and light winds with a great response  of  both experienced and novice players turning out for the event.  The combination of regular and unique skill challenges in lawn bowling made for a lot of laughs and light-hearted  banter.  A special guest  appearance in the person of Detritus (a.k.a. Geoff Holland), helped to complete the afternoon’s event.

The Gold Medal went to the team of Trevor Motley, Kathleen Motley and novice Nadine Kilkenny.  They scored a whopping 18 points for their medal win.

Silver Medal winners with 16 points was  the team of Peter Scott, Miriam Gunn, Brian Larkin and Jeff McEachern, another novice.

Mary Card, Diana Olenick and novice,  Roger Taylor,  earned the Bronze Medal with 13 points.

The club would like to thank RBC Wealth Management , Louise Alix and Sandy Taylor  for their involvement with the event which has been a part of the club’s schedule since 2002.  Also, congratulations to all the novices who came out for this event.  We hoped you had fun and we’ll see you in even more of our club’s events.  A special thanks to Chuck Benson for the great pics.  Always reliable and always great shots!!

President’s Message – Presidents Cup

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

 

On Thursday May 16th our Club hosted the Presidents Cup for the 6 Vancouver Island North and Powell River District Clubs.

 

The comments we received from a large part of the participants were so great that I felt the need to pass these accolades along to our Volunteers who spend many hours to make our PLBC one of the best in BC.  

 

We had excellent comments on our bowling green, the pleasing surrounding gardens, the inviting entrance to our club and the friendliness of our all members that were at yesterday’s event. 

 

The club house was decorated wonderfully for all the participants to enjoy.

 

Also comments were complimentary on our new scoreboards 

 

I felt is was necessary to send this message out to the membership to let all the volunteers know and share the extremely good comments we received.  Without all the hard work from all the many volunteers we would not be receiving such wonderful comments. 

 

Just to summarize it makes me very proud as your President to be part of this amazing club.

From

Your President Trevor Motley and PLBC board members

Board News

The new pavement at the club entrance has been completed and the Bowls Shed has been repaired.
The front of the club house will soon receive a new coat of paint.

The new benches have been completed and add a pleasing complement to our green. Thank you to Fortis for providing much needed labour and assistance in getting the benches completed.

Many thanks to the volunteers who have worked hard to plan for and complete these projects.

The community is expressing more interest and awareness for lawn Bowling and exploring the sport that we all enjoy so much.

PGOSA has begun their rental schedule on Wednesdays evenings from 6:30 to 8:30.
Other groups that will be visiting and trying out the game include Fortis employees who have been so helpful in the installation of our new benches, City Hall staff who will rent the green for one session and a class of students from Balenas Secondary school for one session as part of their Life Skills program.

Miriam Gunn (fund raising director) has created a plan to provide Memorial Plaques to be mounted on the new benches. If you are interested in memorializing a friend or family member in this way, please contact Miriam for more information.

Watch for advertising on our new scoreboards which will contribute significantly to our revenues. Thanks go to Miriam for her hard work in seeking out new fundraising ventures for the club and to Mick Banks for preparing the templates for displaying the ads.

We welcome 27 new members to our club this year. We are very happy to have you join us.

We are still looking for a Social Director for the club. If you would like to find out more about this position, please contact any member of the Board. In the meantime, we thank Andy Cruickshank for hosting the social time following the Tuesday morning draw and to Lynn Hutchinson who will be organizing coffee, tea and goodies for tournaments.
