We’re stoked+ to host Wendy Mason and Mark Barrett from Lowlands Bowling Club, Newcastle (Australia) on a lovely Friday arvo++. Our beautiful and vibrant city of Victoria is no woop woop+++ to these visitors even though they travelled many miles to be here.
Lawn bowling fraternity is enjoyed everywhere in the world. Wendy and Mark like to jump into their caravan and travel around Australia to play bowls. When Mary and Mel were bowling at the Mooloolaba Bowls Club (Sunshine Coast) in February, they were delighted to learn that they were coming to visit Canada and quickly invited them for a game at our club. Here they are.
(L-R) Wendy Mason, Mark Barrett, Floyd Ruttan, Mel Forster, Gale Ruttan (cheer leader) & Dennis Verge.
Enjoy the rest of beautiful British Columbia, the Rockies, Quebec, Niagara Falls and the Maritimes, Wendy and Mark! We look forward to seeing you soon.
