Medicine Hat Memorial Triples Tournament

The Medicine Hat Memorial Triples Tournament was a great success with 20 teams playing all day Saturday and half of Sunday.  A huge thank you to the volunteer crew from the Royal Lawn Bowling Club for helping ensure the event was so successful!  First and second winners were crowned in four different divisions with the team from Lethbridge of Robert & Esther Rodzinyak and Al McGarty winning the overall trophy again for the second year.  All the players also voted for who they felt was the most outstanding and supportive skip and the Ben Osterman Award was presented to Dolly Gouw!

Visually Impaired Bowlers Need Assistance

The Alberta Sports and Recreation Association for the Blind is a non profit organization that supports blind and visually impaired Albertans, of all ages, to live physically active lives. They do this through sport and recreation programming, exposure events and by partnering with other sport organizations to offer quality programs and experiences for our members. ASRAB is currently seeking individuals interested in supporting our lawn bowl athletes as “Directors”. Directors assist the blind or visually impaired bowler with their positioning for throwing, giving feedback and information about the game and keeping score. If you would be interested in becoming a lawn bowl director, please contact the Edmonton Program Coordinator at program.edmonton@asrab.ab.ca or by calling 780-638-1227.
