OPEN PLAY

Times for open play are listed in Hours & Location.  Please remember that these times may be subject to seasonal changes.  Also, green maintenance and scheduled tournaments have precedence over open play.  Telephone fan-outs, e-mail messages, and website announcements (in News & Updates) will keep members advised regarding such changes.

On Thursday mornings, women members have priority for the green and the clubhouse.  Men may use rinks not in use, but it might be advisable for them to play on other weekdays.  On Wednesday mornings, the men have priority for the green and the clubhouse.  

Play or practice outside scheduled times is permissible.  Members may obtain a key to access the green, the playing equipment shed, and the clubhouse for these purposes.  (Keys available from Marilyn Boechler.)

JITNEYS

Five jitneys are scheduled during the bowling season, the first four planned on statutory holidays (Victoria Day, Canada Day, BC Day, and Labour Day).  The final  jitney marks the official end of the bowling season at the end of September or early October.  Open play, however, continues beyond, weather permitting.  Entry fees may apply.

Jitneys are usually variations on the game of bowls with emphasis on fun and enjoyment.  A social component is usually a part of each event in the form of a potluck lunch, an organized lunch, or a brown-bag lunch.

SUNDAY FUN DAYS

Sunday Fun Days are planned mainly for enjoyment, but they also include an element of competition with prizes awarded in various categories.  Again, sociability is an important aspect of each event.  They are held once per month in June, July, and August.  Entry fees may apply.

A gracefully delivered bowl runs true and shows the way for the next.
Never turn your back on a bad bowl; learn from your mistakes. 
Never show negative emotion to your opponent.
