Warm sunny weather greeted our fiends and family visitors for this second annual event. Many volunteers had spent time preparing and setting up the club for this successful day, and we were lucky to have Wade Grant, our local MP, throw a ceremonial bowl to open proceedings. In his speech he even intimated that he may wish to join the club! He was able to enjoy trying both lawn bowling and croquet, as were all our visitors. Thank you to all the many volunteers, and to the organizers! Here are some photos from our annual Friend and Family Event:

From Kathie Draeseke:

We have another fundraising event: on Thursday June 19 from 9 am to 11:30.  The faculty and staff of our neighbouring West Point Grey Academy are coming to bowl as they do every year.  The Ed Angel league will be on the west green so we will use the east green.

They pay very generously.  If you would like to come and help out, please let me know

Thanks,
Kathie

Here is a little reminder about the Saturday morning bowling and croquet practice session from 10:00am-12:00pm. There will be coffee, tea and cookies for those that would just like to come up and socialize .

Know of anyone who might be interested but isn’t sure ? 

This is a perfect time to come over. A quick intro for the basics, then roll a few bowls or play croquet, maybe even join a quick game! 

We would L❤️VE to meet them.

Beautiful sunny weather greeted some 44 bowlers and several croquet players keen to celebrate the new season. Tom Digby, Park Commissioner, threw the ceremonial first bowl and unveiled a plaque in memory of Bill Parker.

See details below!

Winter croquet is progressing apace! See the following photos:

All good things come to an end! As the date for coring the greens was here the West Green was used for one last bowling session, along with croquet. Winter croquet will start once the greens are ready – look for an announcement from Sue Dix-Cooper. Thank you to everyone who helped with sweeping and removing the corings, especially foreman Andy who kept everyone on their toes!! Thank you also to Sue and Mark Dix-Cooper for co-ordinating everything 😍

Not the best weather due to rain, but this was a very warm event inside, with lots of smiling faces being awarded prize money and trophies. Mark Dix-Cooper won the Bowler of the Year trophy, very well deserved! Thank you to organisers and everyone who contributed to making this a success.

A wonderful day to start September and welcome all the 20 teams taking part in the Barbara Williams Mixed Fours Tournament. Our club was well represented with 6 teams taking part! Not only that but one of our home grown teams came third! Thank you to all volunteers who helped behind the scenes to make this event such a success. Here are some photos from the day:
