Southern Open Triples location changed

The Southern Open Triples, scheduled for August 16 – 18 will move from Rotary Park to the Stanley Park Lawn Bowling Club.

Both the Stanley Park and the Royal club are limited in rinks so there is a limit of 14 teams for each event.  The event also relies on a minimum of 6 teams!

Registration deadline is August 9, so still plenty of time to gather your team and enter!  Teams get $15 for each win and if six teams register the prize money will be $195 for 1st, $135 for 2nd, $90 for 3rd and $60 for the 4th place team. Those amounts will change with more registrations!

Mixed Pairs Championships Medalists

Congratulations to the medalists of the Mixed Pairs Championships!  Keith Wylie and Jan Robinson secured the Gold and will be representing AB at the Canadian Mixed Pairs Championships to be held in September in Saskatoon, SK.  They edged out Neil and Dianne Douglas who received the silver medal.  Roy Riege and Kathryn MacGregor took home the bronze medal.

Thank you to all the volunteers from Calgary Lawn who helped run a first class championship!
