Maxwell Rice Tournament

It was another successful OLBA tournament for our Grand Cove Lawn Bowling Club. We were the perfect hosts with the top 4 teams coming from outside our club. We did get rave reviews for our greens and food and rightfully so. Travis and his grounds crew did a great job with the greens and once again Mark, Doug and Ann outdid themselves with breakfast and lunch. Thanks to Draw Masters Ken, Linda and Paul and all the volunteers who helped with set-up and tear down. We think Mr. Rice would have been proud of his club today (as always click on photos to enlarge them).

Our flags were flying and the rain had let up.

Breakfast was ready.
