Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club

This is a last call for those who have not renewed their memberships for the 2010 year to now do so. All who use the green for either lawn bowling or croquet renew as Regular Members at $150 for the year until May 2011. Those who do not bowl or play croquet but who enjoy watching the games or participating in other recreational and social events, may renew as Social Members at $30. Anyone who is a 2010 Social Member and who wishes to play either lawn bowls or croquet, may upgrade to Regular Member by paying $120.
Along with the other clubs in the BSI, we submit our list of members for inclusion in the BSI Roster which is published mid-May. For that reason, we need, and it is required by our Constitution, that we receive your membership renewal by Saturday, May 8th. Membership forms and dues may be mailed to the club (720 Belleville Street, V8W 1A3) or paid at the clubhouse.

Lawn Bowling opens officially on Saturday, 24 April. Please be at the clubhouse in your flat, smooth-soled shoes and whites by 12:45 p.m. for the 1:00 p.m. draw.
As is our custom for Saturday games, tea will be served mid-way through the afternoon ($2.00) – all regular and social members welcome. Please bring some “goodies” – tea-bread, cookies, squares or cake. Whatever is not used on one Saturday will be frozen or stored for use on subsequent Saturdays throughout the season. All contributions to the “cake-tin” or “cookie jar” are welcome at any time, but especially on Saturdays and for Tournaments!
The CP Croquet season gets under way on Sunday, April 25th with a 1:00 p.m. draw. Singles play will be every Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. through the summer until the light gives out. Wednesday evenings will be for doubles play. (Note that there will be no draw Tuesday, June 1st because of the Rose Bowl Tournament.) Croquet will also share the green with bowling 6:00 p.m. Thursday evenings and 1:00 p.m. Sunday afternoons (except where bowling tournaments conflict, i.e. June 6th, June 13th, July 18th, August 15th, August 29th and Septempber 12th).
We will be hosting four tournaments – an invitational Victoria Day, May 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, a Club Singles, Sunday, June 22nd, Club Doubles, August 22nd and our summer season wind-up Grudge Match, September 26th. The Fall/Winter calendar will follow. For more information contact the Activities Co-Chairs, Bruce Gillespie (294-0719) or Lorne Carnes (384-5499).
