The Anne Webster tournament, the last women’s BSI tournament of the season, was held at the Lake Hill Lawn Bowling Club on Sept. 12th and 13th. Sixteen teams, consisting of a skip, a third, and a novice, participated in the tournament.

Three teams from Oak Bay participated in the 2 day event. They included Linda Cowie’s team with Karen Evans and Suzanne Ewen, runners up in the B Event (no photo available); Betty Walker’s team with Louise Mason, and Liz Fraikin, runners up in the B Event (no photo available), and Joan Firkins’ team with Marcia Thorneycroft, and Barb Davidge. All 3 teams made it into the B division semi final, but only Joan Firkins’ team made it into the B final. They went on to win their final game against a team from Vic West, and won  the B division final. Congratulations to all, especially Barb Davidge who was playing in her first BSI tournament.
