We will gather at 4pm on Sunday August 3 at West Point Grey Lawn Bowling Club located at 6th Ave and Trimble (next to the tennis courts and across the street from St. Helen's). There is plenty of free street parking, there are bus stops on 10th Ave or 4th Ave.
If you would like to bowl, please email Heather (heatherhf2003@yahoo.ca) by Wed July 30th to give time to make up the teams for play (3 or 4 per team depending on how many want to play). If you would like to be on a team with a particular person, mention that as well. If you will be bowling please wear comfortable clothing and flat (no heels) soft soled shoes to protect the bowling greens from damage. Whether bowling or cheering from the sidelines, don't forget a sun hat and sun screen. You may also want to bring a water bottle, there is a water fountain and benches for seating at the club.
We will have a short intro to lawn bowling and then start the first game at 4:30pm so if you sign up for a team please plan to arrive by 4pm. We will bowl 2 games of 45 minutes each with a short break between games to change rinks and challengers. If you have never lawn bowled before, check out the short video below - it is great fun.
Around 6pm after the bowling, we will have a picnic at the club. We are asking each family to bring a "ready to serve" dish to share. Ideas of what to bring are: Salads, cooked meats (chicken, cold cuts), sandwiches, veggies & dip, cheese & crackers, fruit, cookies/squares, or a traditional family favourite. Paper plates, cutlery, glasses and lemonade will be provided.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Heather at heatherhf2003@yahoo.ca.
