The Pat and Gavin Reid memorial St. Patrick’s Day tournament was held at the Qualicum Beach indoor facility. Gavin Reid had a great deal to do with the vision and building of the indoor lawnbowling at Qualicum Beach. Without him and other volunteers, the fantastic facility would never have been built.
The final Indoor tournament of the season was a delightful experience for bowlers and audience alike. There was a balance of a few novice bowlers playing with veteran players from Victoria, Nanaimo, Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
The tournament winners were:
First place – Brent Jansen, Dennis Verge, Gopala Gowda.
Second place – Vern Hagstrom, Graham Fowler, Linda Cooper.
Third place – James MacDonald, Lorane Martin, Ziutka Hundley.
Fourth place – Erik Ewen, Luci Ewen, Suzanne Ewan
Eric, Suzanne, and Luci were members of the Oak Bay Lawn Bowling Club a few years ago – a wonderful family that moved up to Qualicum Beach. They have made lawn bowling a big part of their lives and with the indoor venue, many areable to play year-round full length.
