Mary Ann Booth’s first Mayor’s Tournament did her proud. I heard her say that this is one of her favourite community events.

The sun shone on yet another opening day for our membership on Sunday, April 28th and we were grateful.

In preparation for Remembrance Day, 2018 Howie and the crew got the green ready, and Pat and Radka helped Sue put another 400 poppies on sticks, to add to last year’s poppies and flags.

So our outdoor bowling for 2018 is over but beautiful sunny days on the greens will be welcome once again next year!

FINALLY! The Rose Bowl is back!

It has been a glorious summer of sunny days, and our Charity Day on September 3rd was no exception.

Well, you haven’t heard from me for a while, so here is my account of a very magical week!

Tim’s post regarding Jim’s silver medal win was a generous and thoughtful tribute, but I know our club felt well represented by all three of our members who traveled to Regina to participate in the national championships.

At the same time as hosting the BC Provincial Senior Triples’ Tournament during the day, WVLBC was home to the Women’s V&D Novice Singles’ in the evenings.

In preparation for hosting the BC Provincial Senior Triples’ Tournament, Howie, Drew and Radka cut the greens, Derek painted the benches, Pat and Sue bought out Costco for the catering and prepped the night before.

West Vancouver Lawn Bowling Club has arrived!!!   Not only did West Vancouver mayor Michael Smith have his 5th Annual Mayor’s Tournament here in July, but two wonderful young men, Marc and Peter, put on Midsummer’s Green Lawn Bowling, their own fifth charity tournament.

July 14th was date of our mid-summer fundraiser, the brainchild of our hard working president Myrle.

Congratulations to Jim the new Provincial Silver Medalist in the Men’s Singles!

Many of you know that the annual Mason and Friends Charity Day has raised thousands of dollars for the YMCA to send children to summer camps. Last year at Tim’s event, Grace of the YMCA floated the idea of bringing a group of newcomers to our club, as part of a program that introduced newcomers to Canada to various Canadian sports and activities.

As is our long-standing tradition, West Vancouver played North Vancouver July 7th at the North Vancouver club in the women’s Rosebowl and the men’s Leyland Cup.

Jim, Alice, Tim and Sue all took part in the Men’s and Women’s Provincial Fours the weekend of June 23rd at North Vancouver.
