Bowler Profile
This month, the club would like to recognize Bill McCollam, our 2019 Provincial Novice Men Singles Champion. He is an avid lawn bowler as I am sure you have noticed. Look around any night and you will see Bill practicing his fantastic shot! He has been attending various club tournaments this past week and had three wins in just one week:
- Willowdale men’s triples (with Bob Penner also of this club)
- Campbellford open pair
- Pickering Mixed triples
Well done Bill, you make us proud!

Housekeeping
- A few times now club members have had to sort out misplaced bowls in the equipment room. Please ensure that when you borrow club bowls you put them back in slot you took them from and make sure the tag is out and matches the size on the slot
- Please ensure that you have taken all your belongings when you are finished bowling and you have disposed of any used water bottles in the garbage. All equipment you used including water bottles to wet your bowls should be put away.
- If you come to the club to practice please ensure when you leave the clubhouse is locked and the gate lock is on and tumbled.
