A little relaxation was in order
Bowling those games all over again, but, perfect this time!

A visit to Dundas LBC
Jack and Donna, Roger and Dianna spent the day bowling at Dundas LBC on Saturday the 28th. This was the last tournament for the club this year and it was well attended. While not placing in the top 5, everyone enjoyed the day and the bowling. Best of the all was the Ice Cap for the drive home.
The annual Ladies only luncheon got off to a great start. All the rinks were in play. Some of them were a little soft so the mats had to be put out and the ladies did a good job of using them. Thanks everyone!
The spectators were treated to some incredible bowling. None of the games were 'run-aways' and the skips had some tough shots to make.....a lot of the time!
Shirley (the sponsor) showed up just before lunch, and what a lunch! many thanks to Mary Jane Kekes. She was up at 5am to make a big pots of potatoe salad, a veggie salad, cabbage rolls, cold cuts, and cut up a whole bunch of fresh strawberries to go with the ice cream! Wow, what a feast!
Huge thanks Mary Jane.
It was a wonder anyone could bowl after the lunch break. But bowl they did, maybe it was with the extra motivation that Shirley provided for each fo the 32 ladies. A unique, hand made apron!
In the prize money or not, everyone was a winner today. Thanks Shirley!
When the last game was finished, Tony kept everyone occupied, while waiting for the drawmaster
to get the final results, with the 50/50 draw. This year, for this tournament we had 2 draws. Thanks for looking after the 50/50 Tony
First 50/50 winner
Kay was the second winner in the 50/50 draw
Finally..........the results!
First Place with 3 wins, Candace and Linda. Norwich LBC
Second Place with 3 wins
Third Place with 2 wins
Fourth Place with 2 wins, Marlene and Edith, Norwich LBC
Fifth place with 2 wins, Norma and Diana, Norwich LBC
High Aggregate from Heritage Greens with 1 win
This was a day for the ladies, but it wouldn't have happened without the superb support services provided by the men! :-) Many thanks to Chuck, John, Tony, Dick, Roger and Norm for doing all the kitchen duty. Great job guys!

Some Major bowling the first week of August
Great day at the Dufferin club for the LP/MP on Tuesday 3rd. Jack and Maddy, Roger and Joy had a good day of bowling. Wednesday of off to Aylmer and the really fast greens, where Joy and Roger managed to win 3 games and place first. Thursday was the club Jitney and there was a good turnout even though many members are doing the holiday thing. Friday was the LP/MP at Ingersoll. More fast greens, so lot's of practice at keeping the weight down! Saturday was the OT with lunch at St George pretty much a full house. Check out their website at http://www.d3olba.ca for some pictures. Teams from Burlington and other areas attended so the competiton was hard. Sunday was the LP/MP at Woodstock. They had a very good turnout with a number of teams from London. It was called after 2 and 1/2 games --rain. All in all a very busy week of bowling. Congratulations to all the host clubs for the fine job of running the tournaments and the snacks.
---------------------------
31 July at Woodstock
It was almost a full house at the Woodstock LBC on Saturday for the men's pairs. Bowlers attended from far away as Bellville! Jack and Roger had a very good day even though the competition was fierce. Playing 3, 14 end games takes a long time and the draw masters had a difficult job. The scoring for most games was very close. Congrates to Moe and Gerry for running a smooth tournament.
--------------------------
July 29 at Embro
10 members of our club took part in the tournament at Embro. It was a perfect day for bowling, sunny, with a nice breeze and all the greens were full.
The day started with the tournament being opened by the Embro Town Crier - unique way to get things going!
Our teams did well!
Third Place: Jack, Maddy and Roger
Fourth: Dick, Marlene and Edith

The win was determined on the last bowl, in an extra end, of the
third game!
Perfect weather! Perfect greens!
19 May, 2010 was the perfect day to open the 2010 lawn bowling season at the Woodstock Lawn Bowling Club. 60 plus bowlers from the 11 clubs in District 3 came out to enjoy the first jitney of the season. We had 30 teams, playing in pairs, using 15 greens with two, eight end games. Thanks to Jim Post and his greens crew the playing surface was great. He was out very early getting everything ready for play. The Drawmasters, Judy Priddle, Kay Couwenburg and Moe Cosyn, had a tough job tracking each players score and they did a great job.
Many thanks to His Worship, Michael Harding, Mayor of Woodstock for taking time from his busy schedule to join us and help out with the opening ceremonies – presenting 2 prizes and throwing the opening bowl. To get things started we had a “spider” – a big circle of bowlers with the target in the middle – Christine Booth had it well organized and 2 lucky bowlers received a beautiful flower arrangement each. We were fortunate to have 2 vendors of bowling supplies in attendance so we were able to purchase the small things needed for playing.
Although individual scores were important, everyone was winners on this day. Many thanks to all those who contributed to make this opening day a great success. All the clubs in District 3 welcome anyone who would be interested in trying lawn bowling
