Refreshments, competitions and bowling on a beautiful May evening.Over 25 people celebrated National Bowls Day, many responding after a personal invitation at The Kitsilano Farmers’ Market. New bowlers enjoyed trying lawnbowling with coaching from club members, and had some wonderful shots. All ages were represented. Many thanks to Suzette and Wayne for a successful event!
Kitsilano Farmers’ Market is a new publicity venue for our club. This was was a venture for us to gauge interest for new members. The market was busy and bustling, and certainly there were a number of people wanting to find out more information about our club. Indeed, a couple even visited the clubhouse in the afternoon as a result of personal invitation, and they’re planning to attend the National Bowls Day Social next Saturday evening!
