Members of the club held formal cer'emonies Sunday morning and attended a dinner that night. 1 Free Press photo Bowlers celebrate 6Oth By JANET BROWN£ Lawn bowling rnay not yet be as popular here as it is in England and Australia, but the Whitby lawn bowling club bas just celebrated its 6th anniversay and is growing faster than ever. Last weekend's celebration was "tremendous," according to president Vie Igglesden who has been a member of the club for 25 years. With approxirnately 120 bowlers, no other celebration at the 'greens' has been as well attended. During festivities, a balloon was sent into the sky with a note at- tached, and was last seen by Igglesden heading for North Bay. Whoever finds the balloon will be given a prize by the club. The site for the Whitby club bas been the same for 60 years, but it was originally located behind Al Saints' Anglican Church in 1922. Formerly known as the Whitby Lawn Bowling and Tennis Club, the tennis courts were rnoved to Iroquois Park in 1974. The seniors' centre was erected in 1976, and is used as a clubhouse by the bowlers as well. Although the rnajority of bowlers are seniors, Igglesden says he is trying to encourage younger rnem- bers of the community to corne out to the 'greens'. "We've been trying for years to get a junior club, now that juniors are getting very active in lawn bowling. That's a good sign. " A membership at the Whitby club entitles bowlers to play at il clubs in this part of Ontario. At certain tirnes of the year, the Whitby club welcomes guests from Kiwanis donation The Kiwanis Club of Whitby recently donated $6,000 toward the new resîdence for ex-psychiatrist patients established by Ail Saints Church in Whitby.
