Lawn bowling open house The Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club is celebrating its 85th year. The Club started in 1910 on Queen Street, across from where the IGA store is located. In 1986 it moved to its new, location, on Old Simcoe Road, across from the Police Station. Scoring in Lawn Bowls is similar to Curling except that, instead of throwing to a spot on the ice, one rolls a "bowl" trying to be closest to a little white ball (the Jack). The Jack however may be bounced around within the confines of the 'rink'. Yes, the 12 to 14 foot wide patch of grass, 120 feet long is called a rink. While the stone, in Curling, is thrown with a twist, to make it curl, the Bowl is thrown straight but curls as it slows because of its shape. The sport can be as social or as competitive as you want to make it.. Who can tell, some year you may be a nationa] or even an® international competitor. There are 12,000 bowlers in 170 clubs in Ontario and the number grows each year. Perhaps that's because it is also one of the most economical sports. Anyone wanting to try the game is welcome to any of the Open House Nights, May 16, 17, 18, 283, 24 or 25 at 7 pm or any Thursday evening after that. There is no charge but you do need 'to wear soft flat soled shoes (mo heels). Our season runs to mid Sept. For information call Joyce Stephenson 985-9901 or Cam Crawford 985-0158.
