District Single Novice Event coming up in August

This year the OLBA is running a District Singles Novice Event for the first time. If there are any Novice eligible members (5 years or less as an OLBA member) who might be interested in playing in this event please contact me for more information. Each club in our District can send one female bowler and one male bowler to the Districts and the District winner goes to Provincials in Sept. The District event is being held at the Milton Lawn Bowling Club on Aug. 25th & 26th. Cost is $25.00/player.  If our club has more than one lady or one man interested in competing the club can do an elimination roll-off to determine who will represent our club.

Please do not register directly with the Milton Club, contact our event co-ordiantor Gary Medhurst for information, and look for details on the flyer being posted on the club bulletin board.

Novice Triples – A great day!

Congratulations to our ladies team of Linda Morrow, Barb Pallister-Smith and Carolynn Kelly on a excellent display of bowling at the Novice Triples event hosted at our club this past Saturday July 28th.  This was the very first time ever a women’s team from NTLBC participated in the Novice Triples and our ladies bowled superbly!  The first game was tied after 14 ends culminating in a tie breaker end which was won by Milton. The second game was also hard fought with many good shots from both teams. It was a long day as each game was 14 ends (plus a tie breaker and 2 practice ends per game) and the ladies held their own throughout the day. Congratulations to all who participated including members of the Milton team and referees Sharlene & Gary Harris.
