Kingston Lawn Bowling Club

Despite 30'C temperatures, we had a great turnout for our Sunday afternoon recreational bowling on July 5. Here are a few pictures (more to come!) from today's session!

Congratulations to the bowlers who came out to play on an extremely hot and humid Canada Day! We had a great game and lemonade and ice cream. Happy Canada Day from KLBC!

We had a great Aussie 2-4-2 tournament in Kingston yesterday. Thanks to our sponsors Burkom & See Investment Group and Robert J Reid & Sons Funeral Home for their support of this event. It was great seeing teams from so many other clubs. Congratulations to the winners, Carol-Anne and Jim (Kingston), 2nd place Greg and Sandra (Orillia), 3rd place Curtis and Pierre (Kingston) , 4th place Al and Peter (Cobourg), 5th place Rick and George (Campbellford/Belleville)

Next up on the KLBC calendar: our annual 2-4-2 Open Pairs tournament. It's sponsored by Burkom & See Investment Group (Scotia Wealth) and Robert J. Reid & Sons Funeral Home. The tournament starts Saturday morning (June 27) at 9:30 a.m.: stop by and check out the action! Games will continue until around 4:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

Huge congratulations to KLBC's Curtis Wartman, who captured the silver medal at the Men's Indoor Singles qualifier this week at James Gardens. With the 2nd place finish, in a strong field of 20 players, Curtis will represent Ontario at the Canadian Indoor Singles Championships this fall in B.C. Well done!

Congratulations to the two KLBC players at the Men's Fours Provincial Championships in Pickering this weekend. Pierre Vanderhout's team (pictured, with Brad Tichbourne, Dave DeFoe, Desmond Tibby, and Pierre from the left), went undefeated until the semi-finals, where they lost 11-7 to the eventual champions and ultimately finished in 4th place. And James Baggs' team (photo shows Alan Hunter, Rhys Warren, Peter Stuart-Sheppard and James) lost only one preliminary round game before being eliminated in the quarter-finals. Next weekend, KLBC's Curtis Wartman competes in the Men's Indoor Singles Provincial qualifier in Etobicoke!

We’ve enjoyed some great jitneys this week! Are you interested in joining us? Just send us a message.

Our first Fun Day of the season is on Tuesday, June 16. Thanks to Glenhaven Memorial Gardens for their kind sponsorship...including coffee, tea, and treats! This event is open to all KLBC members (as well as their friends and family), but please sign up at the clubhouse so that we know how many people to expect. See you then!

Today was our annual Open House, and we were able to introduce our sport to many new people. And lots of them have signed up to be members! Thanks to everyone who gave it a try, and thanks to our team of volunteers...your enthusiasm was contagious! If you missed out, it's not too late: reach out to us and we'll set up something for you! (After the Open House, we had our regular Sunday afternoon jitney, and then a BBQ for all the volunteers. Special thanks to Chef Don!)
