BC Day Holiday Bowling

Wonderful weather for fun games. In the morning we had 2ft bowling, where any bowls within 2ft of the jack counted for points. At lunchtime there were wonderful goodies, prepared by Janis – thank you! As it was so hot we only played 8 ends for triples, with prizes for the winning team. Thank you to all who helped behind the scenes for such a superb day!

Aussie Pairs

12 first and second year members played with some great bowling and lots of fun! Thank you to our Convenors, and for those who provided refreshments

Canada Day Cup

A lovely dry summer day where there was full sun in the afternoon combine with the red and white of Canada Day led to some great bowling with some amazing games. Only one team won both of their games, and they were the overall winners: Mark Dix-Cooper, George Bangham and Melanie Klintworth. Second place went to Kathie Draeseke, David Crowe, and Ian Cumming, closely followed by Elaine Rolston, Susan Boyd, and Sue Dix-Cooper in third place. Many thanks to all the very many volunteers who contributed their time and effort to the success of this wonderful Canada Day event, and thank you to convenor Jan Miko.

Friends & Family Bowling

The sun came out, putting smiles on everyone’s faces. Over 70 members, families and friends of all ages enjoyed snacks, socializing, bowling and croquet. A special thank you to all organizers and volunteers for a fun event.

Frauds and Scams Presentation

45 people attended a most informative talk presented by Linda Yauk on behalf of Seniors First BC. The biggest takeaway is to be careful with any phone calls, texts, email messages etc. which seem out of place or are soliciting personal information. Afterward we were treated to tea, coffee and sweets during which there was much fruitful discussion.
