Thank you to everyone that has donated baking, it was greatly appreciated by members and guests.  As we are in the height of tournament season, we could really use additional baking donations for the upcoming Provincial Pairs and Joan Price Quaddie.  Sweet treats such as cookies, squares, cakes, cupcakes and muffins are always appreciated.

On another note, we have quite a few containers that have transported your baking to the club. We have left the containers & pans washed, outside the kitchen door for your pick up.

Thanks

Shannon

Found this in the parking lot on Thursday morning after Ladies League June 16th.

On June 28^th John Stubbs Middle School will be coming to our club for their annual visit. This is their last day of the school term where they do various activities at Westshore, one of which is lawn bowling.

The Students come and play cutthroat in three (3) one hour sessions from 9:30-10:30 am, 10:45-11:45 am & 12:45-1:45 pm and are there to have fun.

Our Monday Night Ladder is scheduled to start on Monday June 27th however to date we only have 5 or 6 signed up and without 16 to 20 participants it will not be viable to proceed and will be cancelled, so if you are a bit unsure on how it works ask one of your Games Committee or other senior bowler.

Again this is open to all bowlers regardless of skill level, it will normally be a pairs game subject to numbers attending and is good experience for everyone including novices.

So if you are thinking about it and sitting on the fence, give it a try and sign up on the sheet in the clubhouse,
