GLBC -SPRING NEWS

Hi there: By now you will have received a Bowls Flyer and Membership Form for 2023 from Helene Kuntz, our new Club Secretary, and are looking around for your cheque book.

Mojo and I walked down to the mailbox this afternoon to mail my entry to John. (Wow, that was an icy wind!) John Stevenson is standing by, and we are all hoping to see you again this Summer. As you are aware, we are officially post-pandemic, and can play normally, and often, I hope.

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE: we have CHANGED THE MONDAY AND FRIDAY MORNINGS START TIMES TO 10:00 a.m. as requested at the Fall Meeting.

FOR YOUR COMFORT: Two days ago, we got the go ahead from the Community Association to order the Two New Gazebos, and Dave and I got a good reduction on them ON SALE at Rona's. They will be delivered in lots of time to get them up before the hot weather. They will be a wonderful addition to the Green, providing shelter from sun and rain for our "bags" etc. at the East end (car park/garden side) of the Green. Of course, they don't assemble themselves, so I'm hoping that our Skilled Assembly Crew, plus a few apprentices can get them together when the weather permits. Please let Graham Murray know your availability.

FOR YOUR PLEASURE: Wednesday Evening Singles. will start Competition Play on Wednesday, June 6th.

Entries to me by May 16th.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Earlier this year, I was consulted regarding an Inter Club Singles League. After a few Zoom meetings, and e-mails, it has fallen by the wayside for the time being. Other Clubs were having trouble finding time for extra play, ETC. It may get resurrected in time for 2024 in some form, I'll keep you posted.

ALL THE BEST FOR SPRING! when it does arrive.

|Ciao, Pat
