Yours truly would like to take a holiday and let someone else make the commentary about today’s birthday lunch. In this case BLBC’s Cathy Dinnean sent an email to club members that says…

“Here’s one of the photos I took today at our BLBC birthday event with 20 members enjoying lunch. I’m not sure I know all involved, but thanks go to Barbara for the planning, and to Gary and Lennon and Linnea for lovely food. Obviously, it was a good idea to try Sunday afternoon, when employed persons could attend. The lunch was followed by two triples games (12 bowlers) on a fine winter afternoon.”

Yours truly again…it was a fantastic afternoon. I got another “lesson” from Ted Crum as an opponent who teamed up with Phil (our new dual member from Oakland) and Janet (whose grandfather was involved with a bowling club back in England). My team had my pal David Sals as lead with Gary Knox as Vice. What fun!

We’re being a little different for our birthday lunch this month. Instead of the last Friday, we’ve chosen to have the lunch on Sunday, 2/27 at noon. If the weather permits, there will be a draw game following. Come join us.

For the first time in a long time, we had an organized Saturday afternoon draw game today. Seasoned veterans Howard Mackey, June Brown, Irving Gershenberg and John Spiers along with President Geoff Chandler led the way with 6 other members and two guests (Jerry Leech’s son and his gal). Meanwhile, Andy and Janet Stapleton showed up, other new members bowled a bit in the morning, and we had a whole family of potential new members bowling as well. We had five rinks going at one point!

The green was in great shape, the weather was gorgeous (thanks for the partly cloudy skies, or it would have been hot), and the bowling was fun – isn’t it always.

We also had a very busy morning with at least 7 new bowlers-to-be being coached. After a few minutes, they were all having a great time. They got a brief exposure to mixed fours and then broke up into two pairs games. Yours truly saw a lot of promise out there this morning.

Stay tuned for more weekend bowling on Saturday or Sunday afternoons!
