The first Club Event of the season at Lake Park Lawn Bowling Club will be held on Memorial Day weekend May 26-27. Novice and experienced bowlers are encouraged to participate. We plan a fun-filled weekend, limbering up our arms and legs while figuring out what the “grass” is. There will be two 14 end games each day. Entry is on an individual basis.
