The summer games for District 7A(North Lanark) Senior Games were held in May and June with almost 100 players participating in 16 events ranging from cribbage to bocce and lawn bowling. Many played in some sports for the first time so that achieved one of the goals in having a yearly membership that allows one to play in many events.
Richard Fitzgibbon.
Next comes the task of sorting out who can compete in August 12 at the Regional Games in Kingston since you are only allowed to compete in 1 event and some people won several gold medals. Winners will be contacted by the original convenors to pick their choice. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to the convenors and volunteers who worked so hard.
We are also grateful to Patti Guidmon and Watersides who provided lunch at 2 events at the Almonte Lawn Bowling Club.
The Annual Meeting and banquet was held on June 24 at the Carleton Place Legion where Jessica Smith of the Carleton Place Recreational Center gave an inspiring speech to the seniors gathered there. It was especially good to have a full slate of officers with many new faces so this bodes well for the future.
