As our season is quickly coming to a close, this is a reminder to those who have a locker, that all bowls and personal belongings must be removed from them before or on October 8th, the day of the AGM.
The lockers are used for storage during the winter and must be empty.
Thank you

LADIES THURSDAY MORNING LEAGUE CANCELLED FOR JULY 28th
Hi everyone
This email is to let you all know that I am cancelling our Thursday Morning LB game for July 28th due to the heat. While it cools off slightly overnight, it heats up again very quickly in the morning and I don’t think it is a wise choice to play when we don’t have to.
I am sorry for the lateness of this email but I was hopeful that the weather might cool down a bit…but it doesn’t seem like this will happen.
See you all next week….
Sent on behalf of Linda T and if you have any questions, please email Linda
