Hello everyone

Opening day and a fun season of bowls and social events is almost upon us. I hope that all of you have had a happy, healthy winter and are as excited as I am to get back onto the greens.

Your Board of Management has been working together to prepare for the upcoming season: planning Open Houses, club and BSI tournaments, fun days, and finalizing the BSI tournament schedule. We were also successful in bidding for a Provincial Championship tournament. We will host the Men’s and Women’s Provincial Fours Championships between June 20th and 22nd.  More to come later.

Hello everyone
