Pippa is initiating a Schools Program initiative. Our first ever school children from Holy Cross came by and tried out and tried out the greens. They all had so much fun and Kevin did an amazing job showing 15 exuberant students the joys of bowling those bowls down the green. We ended the afternoon with a spider which they all loved. We have Pen High in Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Photos HERE.
Robert, Gary and their Elves did a fantastic job of installing the shelters. This was funded by New Horizons for Seniors, who have now contributed $50,000 over two years. Photos of the completed project are HERE. Thank you to all those who helped and to the Kitchen Elves for feeding everyone so well.
A photo collage of the Annual Spring Meeting is now in the Gallery HERE, thanks Victor.

History of the Clubhouse
Penticton Lakeview Lawn Bowling Club was formed in 1927 and first played on the grounds on the old Incola Hotel on Lakeshore Drive. In the Spring time of 1928 there was flooding in that area and greens were washed out completely. In 1929 with permission from the council at that time a new green was setup on Brunswick Street and this is where it remains today. Ladies were introduced to the club in 1930 plus a clubhouse improvement in 1949-1950. The Clubhouse as it now stands was remodelled in 1999-2001. This was due mainly to the Late Harry Bonney and Club Members at this time, many of whom offered their own funds. So in 93 Years we have gone from a wooden shack to the great clubhouse we have today with the support of our club members. In February 2020 we deleted the word "Lakeview" from our title. We are now Penticton Lawn Bowling Club. Some old and interesting photographs are on display in the clubhouse at 260 Brunswick Street, Penticton.
