Chartwell-Tiffin Open Pairs, June 20, 2023

It was a beautiful day for bowling in Kingston. What a great way to celebrate National Bowls Day! It was also great to see so many first- and second-year bowlers taking part. They are the future of the sport!

The results were achingly close. After consulting HAL, the KLBC tie-breaking wizard, today's top finishers are...

1st Place - Donnie Wartman and Paul McLaughlin
2nd Place - Curtis Wartman and Isaac Kerr
3rd Place - Pierre Vanderhout and Louise St. John

Thanks to drawmaster and tournament coordinator Louise St. John for all her hard work. We're already looking forward to our next event - another Open Pairs event on July 5. See you then!

Tournament Date:
October 5, 2019

Tournament Format:
Open Triples


Tournament Notes and Results:
 
This was the last open tournament for 2019. It was played on the artificial green (the carpet). We had 12 very competitive teams battling for first place. We played 3x12 ends and the winners were from Willowdale Lawn Bowling Club. Mark Bernstein, (skip) Hossein Zhian (vice) and Jack Siboni (lead).

The weather was a bit cool, (Bill Donald provided hand warmers for all bowlers) but the sun came-up once in a while to make it very comfortable.

We had a lovely breakfast, Swiss rolls, banana cake, raisin bread, muffins coffee and tea. During the first game Bill Donald made hot chocolate drink and some bowlers served themselves. After the second game all players came in for apple, cherry, and blueberry pie with ice cream. The game ended at 4:15pm, the prizes were given out and everybody left by about 5:15pm. All in all it was a very good day. Looking forward for next year.

Bill and I would like to have a full house (16 teams) next year. Please look up the date in the 2020 Annual and come and enjoy the last open Willowdale tournament on the carpet.

Bill and I would also like to thank all the teams that participated in this event and hope to see you all next year and more. There were teams from various lawn bowling clubs, (Agincourt, Cosburn Park, Balmy Beach, Stouffville, Cobourg, James Garden, Heritage Greens and Willowdale). Have a good winter.

Tournament results:

The winners of this tournament were Chrystal Shephard, Gloria Cheung and Elizabeth Cormack from Willowdale LBC.

This tournament is played on the artificial green (we call it the carpet). We had 12 teams competing in this tournament. The weather was a very sunny and warm 25°C but it got quite windy in the afternoon and it affected the bowling just a bit. You had to considere the wind direction and it was a bit tricky. Everyone had a good time.

Tournament Results:

The winners of this tournament were Mark Bernstein, Hossein Zhian (Novice) and Blake Harper (Novice).

We had 14 teams competing in this tournament. All the novices had a very good experience bowling with experienced bowlers. They commented that they learned a lot about the game played at this level. Some of them are looking forward to coming back next year. For others this was their last year as a novice and they will bring two novices next year.
