This year we are celebrating 125 years of lawn bowling in Peterborough!  I am honoured to be your president. I want to welcome all members, both experienced and new, to our fun sport that provides an ideal opportunity to be active and to socialize. A special welcome to new members through our Rock and Bowl with the local curling clubs and or Pay-as-you-Play programs. We all know keeping active both mentally and physically improves our quality of life. I want to thank my board directors, convenors, and my hard-working volunteers that make our club run smoothly.  I know that we are all proud of our past, but in building for our future we need to grow both our membership and sponsorship base by playing, partnering, and working together in our community.  We will be celebrating our 125th in many big ways this year!
