The Ladner Lawn Bowling Club is hosting its annual open house this Saturday. This is a special year for the club as it has several events planned to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
The open house will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine. The club is located at 5128-47th Ave. across the street from McKee Seniors Recreation Centre.
The game of bowls is for the young and old, men or women, as all are on equal terms. While it is an easy game to learn, it does take some time to master.
The club emphasizes casual recreational play on a drop-in basis. Members enjoy the great outdoors, meet others that enjoy being active and make new friends. Since the club's green is an artificial surface, there is the opportunity to bowl year-round.
Those looking for more competitive bowling can take part in many in-house tournaments as well as tournaments with other clubs, both in Ladner and throughout Greater Vancouver.
The clubhouse has a large meeting room, kitchen, washrooms and lockers, providing an excellent venue for the many club activities hosted throughout the year.
During the fall and winter, there is drop-in play everyday, weather permitting, as well as other activities such as card night and trivia events as well as special celebrations over Christmas, New Year's and St. Patrick's Day.
The club has coaches that can provide lessons to beginners to help them develop their game so they can quickly join in the fun. The club can also supply the bowls for the first year. Just come in flat soled shoes.
