2025 Anniversary Game and Tacos June 12
We celebrated our 60th anniversary with a tournament and tacos. We had a great turnout, requiring SEVEN rinks! Winners were Richard Goodwin (rink and overall), Jim (JB) Brewer, Bonnie Johnston, Steve Pickell, Chris Williams, Marilyn Garland, and Topher Gayle. The game was short - 10 ends - to make sure there was time for tacos. Our tournament team (Gerry Macintosh, Bruce Rolland, and Kevin Johnson) made this a fun event, and designed it to allow for any number of bowlers, with a yardstick cut-throat. One rink went to OT with a 3-way tie.
After the tournament, Bruce Rolland handed out the prize money and attendees were greeted with a wonderful aroma and rows of crock pots full of taco fillings. In charge of creating the lunch were Pam Dempsey and Marilyn McKeever.
Thanks to all!

2024 Independence Day Tournament
Because of the heat, we started early and kept it to 10 ends. We had 24 bowlers making 8 teams on 4 rinks. The day began warm with a gentle breeze - perfect bowling weather. But it wasn't quite your usual game.
Scoring was done at 3 spots:
1. Where the Jack was - scoring like usual
2. Closest to the red golf ball - add 1 points
3. Closest to the blue golf ball - subtract 2

2024 April Fools' Day Tournament
A beautiful day for a tournament! To make things a little more interesting, bowlers swapped positions after each 4 ends, so even novices skipped and even experienced bowlers got to set the jack and rake.
First place was taken by Steve Pickell, Marilyn Garland and Bruce Rolland.
Second place was taken by Jim Golway, Gerry Macintosh and Topher Gayle.
The peanut gallery, with Michelle Macintosh, George Hasa and Tony Lachowicz, was small but mighty.
