Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club

This tournament is open to all full members of the club. The court will be open from 4p.m. on Saturday afternoon onwards for practice, as the green is quite fast right now. The tournament itself will start at 10a.m. on Sunday, June 27 and will likely continue through to 5 or 6 o’clock. Two levels of play will allow intermediates and experts play to their hearts’ content. The tournament fee is a modest $20 and includes refreshments on the Sunday. Please contact activities@cplawnbowling.org as soon as possible with your intention to participate as we would like to start developing the pairings.
Show up around 5p.m. on Canada Day and let us treat you to a BBQ dinner on us! We will have a cash bar and would love to show you how to lawn bowl if you’re interested in giving it a try. Show up promptly, as once lessons are done we expect we’ll play a couple games. For the evening you are encouraged to bowl in bare feet!
This is an all ages event, your only requirement is that you must be able to roll a lawn bowl from one end of the green to the other. We are asking all members of the club to bring a friend or two. We encourage you to stop by and introduce yourself if we haven’t met you before.
In readiness for the Rose Bowl Tournament, 1 and 2 June – please join a team of volunteers to tidy the green and clubhouse. Please help keep the clubhouse and green clean between monthly clean-up sessions by wiping up spills, stowing garbage, brushing the floor (broom and mop in the grey cupboard in the locker room), washing up and storing china and utensils, etc. Speaking of lockers – please ensure yours is tidy and labelled (no clothes or shoes to be left loose in the locker room, please - thanks!)
