Dear members:

This is news from the Berkeley Lawn Bowling Club for June.

Congratulations to the winning team of the recent (May 22) Pairs tournament — Bob Schwartz and Charlie Black. See below for information about the next tournament, an interclub event on June 17.

Here are June dates that may be of interest to you.

Tuesday June 15 — This is the day for the June pizza night. Here is what is available. After 3 PM those who are willing — show up to volunteer to work on the surrounds or in the clubhouse. At 5 PM we will have a 10 end draw game followed by pizza ($5). You may bring salads, desserts, and drinks as you see fit. Last month was a great event that we hope to repeat.

Thursday June 17 — 9 AM we are hosting a tournament with LeisureTown of Vacaville. I want to urge you to sign up, if you can. I realize that Thursday is a day we usually do not bowl. So far we have very few bowlers. If we are to win this tournament we must have enough bowlers! Sign up in the clubhouse or contact Howard Mackey by phone or email AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Saturday bowling: I don’t think that 12:30 is a good time for Saturday bowling. If you agree and want to organize a Saturday draw game at a later time, say 3 or 4 PM, let me know. I will publicize it and get it on the website.

Repeating an item from May: The USLBA requests: “Please have all your members visit our website www.uslba.org and register on the home page if they want to be on the general US email list.” This is a good idea as the Bowls magazine is no more.

Finally, Friday June 25 at noon we will hold the monthly birthday party. Bring your own lunch. Dessert will be provided.

Good bowling for June — now that we finally have some warmer weather! Geoff
