Eligible players, are BSI members in good standing and who are at least 80 during 2012.  This means anyone born in 1932 or before!  You can sign up as an individual, or as a team by emailing ernie@urdal.ca or phoning (250) 472-8936.

Saturday, May 5 at 1pm will be the first official draw for the year.  Come out a bit early and get your name on the draw board by 12:45pm so our draw master can tinker with the names and fill you in on club news while you fill your cups and prepare to christen the green!

Come join in for a fun and relaxing afternoon of live music, BBQ, and bowls!  There will be long time members and new members getting reacquainted with each other and their summer time sport.  Prospective members and curious onlookers are encouraged to join in and see just how much fun lawn bowling can be!

(2) Saturday, 9 July – Church of our Lord (COOL) Strawberry Tea, 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. – it’s our tradition to waive our regular Saturday tea and instead to support our good neighbours by buying strawberry tea ($7.00) after a 12 or 14-end Saturday game (at approx. 3:00 p.m.)

(3) Thursday, 14 July, 9:00 a.m. – CP’s Women’s Pairs – Ladies: let’s make sure this is a go! Add your name to the sign-up sheet in the binder at the Reception Desk (Carol, 386-7628). Bring $10 entry fee, lunch, goodies for the snack table – good bowling!

(4) Friday, 15 July, 5:30 p.m. – please come out to Welcome Oak Bay LBC to Canadian Pacific for an evening of good bowling (visitors love our super green and gorgeous garden – thank you Gordie, Kees and team!). Sign up so that Carol and Lorne know the numbers participating and can make a draw. Please bring some special goodies as it’s customary to welcome our guests with a tea, coffee (other beverages, of course), and a tasty finger-food supper after the game.

(5) Sunday, 17 July, 9:00 a.m. – CP’s Men’s Pairs (sign up sheet in Reception desk binder) – Lorne, 384-5499 (same conditions as for Women’s Pairs, above).

(6) Friday, 12 August, 7:00 p.m. – we’re invited to Vic West LBC for bowling by floodlight, sign up in the Reception Desk binder so we can tell Vic West how many to include in the draw.

Regular Bowling Draws at 1:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Casual bowling on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Regular Croquet – Tuesday and Thursday, 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., Friday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

We’re enrolling teams of 3 (you create your own team name), with maximum one
experienced person per team, to come out to our 4 night “league” play. There
will be 4 evenings of play: June 24, July 8, July 22, and August 5th (6 PM).

You may want to have one or two substitutes on your team as well, to allow
for a possible absence on one or more nights (takes the heat off each player
of potentially letting down their team due to one no show).

What are the requirements? It’s $30/person to join the league (this can be a
credit towards full CPLBC membership if you like it). You must wear flat
soled shoes (no heels) or you’ll have to play Aussie style (barefoot).
That’s it!

This is sure to be a great time to meet new people and try something new,
don’t miss it. Registrations are first come, first served, until it’s full.

To register your team, please contact Bruce Gillespie, Activities Chair,
Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club (bg@rewerx.com 250-294-0719). New to town
or don’t have a team yet, contact Bruce anyways and we’ll create a team with
you on it!
