What's Up at the Club
Sharpen your Bowls Skills
In February I visited Frankston, a town near Melbourne in Australia. The bowls club was very welcoming and allowed me to join their training sessions. I would like to pass on what I learned. Join me, Paula, and have some fun trying nearly every shot in the game of bowls.
Don and Gopal Finish Third
The South Island Men's Pairs BSI tournament took place May 30 and 31st at Central Saanich LBC. A total of 16 pairs teams took part and our own Don Allan and Gopal Gowda placed third narrowly losing their match against Brent Jansen and Steve Foster. A great result Don and Gopal!
Celebrating Five Years of Ladies’ Night Croquet
VBCC’s hosting has become a cornerstone of this interclub tradition, offering a welcoming space where players from across the region can reconnect, meet new faces, and celebrate the sport that links their clubs together. With five years now behind it, Ladies’ Night has proven that croquet in Victoria isn’t just about competition — it’s about community, shared moments, and the simple pleasure of spending a summer evening together.
