The lawn bowling season for our Parksville club started off with Markey Pellow rolling the honourary first bowl of the 2024 outdoor season. We had a full slate of 64 people playing fours for the event and experienced four seasons in just under two hours of 12 end play. It was the typical “wait five minutes and the weather will change” type of situation, but it didn’t seem to matter. Members were just happy to be outside and enjoying the beautiful greens. Once again, thanks to the grounds crew who does such an amazing job in making our greens both so beautiful and playable.
Congratulations and best wishes to our novices who either came out and watched or got on the green to play. We’re so glad that you are a part of our lawn bowling club family. Happy Bowling!

The Annual Short Mat Tournament was held on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th March.
There were eight mixed triples teams entered, made into two groups, playing three games over the two days.
The winners of each group played in a very close final on Sunday afternoon.
The winning team was: Dana Atchison (Skip), Dianne Proctor (3rd) and Lynn Hutchinson (Lead).
The runner up was: Marg Wood (Skip), Diana Olenick (3rd), Martin Perrin (Lead)
It was a fun couple of days which brought out the best in all the bowlers.
To finish off the day and the end of the Short Mat season we held a Pizza Party for all the Short Matters.
