A Message from the President
Greetings from the Coronado Lawn Bowling Club! Please peruse this calendar to see our planned activities for 2020 and join us!
We enjoyed in 2019 another fine year of lawn bowling at our historic site, which has been in use since 1935. In recognition of our long history, we have started efforts in cooperation with the Coronado Historical Association to document and preserve that history.
Highlights of the year include:
Significant efforts to repair and maintain our synthetic grass surface as we prepare for the purchase and installment of a new surface in 2021. We also enjoyed a research journey to Cambria and Santa Maria to test their new green surfaces. The green is owned by the city of Coronado, a generous partner in our efforts. The CLBC contributes annually to a city account that will be utilized to underwrite the new purchase.
Vice President Nancy Santos has led the effort to engage in more tournament playing this past year. Our members played in the SW Vet/Novice Tournaments. Our all-club ladies team made it into the “money” at the Cal Fives this year as did our men’s team at the 5 Man All-Star. In addition to our known national & international champion players, we have more members in Southwest tournaments than ever before.
Despite these notable developments, the heart of our club activities are the social bowling three days a week and the monthly club tournaments we offer. Players of all abilities enjoy membership in the club and the friendly, active competition that characterizes our sport.
We continue to celebrate our place in the culture of Coronado and our standing as one of the very best lawn bowling clubs in the world. We are grateful to the city of Coronado for its continuing support and partnership.
Sincerely,
Bill Lowman
