Canadian Short Mat Championships!

The Canadian Short Mat Championships will be held in Lindsay, Ontario from Nov. 17 to Nov. 23, and Burlington members are participating again. The winners are be eligible to go to Norway from March 20 to 22, 2026 for the World Championships.

It is a wonderful opportunity for bowlers to advance their bowling strategy, meet new bowlers and improve! Many of the bowlers compete each year at the Canadians for just that reason. Others compete just because - how often can you say that you entered or won in the Canadians and then went to the Worlds in any sport?! Many bowlers, some with no expectations of going to the Worlds, compete each year in the Canadians. However, note that many outdoor lawn bowlers, including very competitive bowlers, are also competing.

2023 World Championships in Scotland saw Burlington bowlers Travis Anderson, Marion Brunton, Penny Heneke, Sophie Burrows, Rusty Ruggles, Fred Gundle, Dave Burrows, Pat Binnie and Mary Pace represent Canada. 2024 World Championships in Ireland saw Burlington bowlers Travis, Marion, Sophie, Dave, Tom Gwinnett and Peter Andersen compete.

This year, competing in Lindsay, will be Sophie, Tom, Dave, Peter, Marion, Penny, Fred, Obed Nnewe, Chris Brandl and Don Rush. Mary Wesko (a former Canadian and World competitor) will be the UMPIRE for the entire week. There will be 20 mats in play over the week and almost 100 bowlers.

Singles - 48 competitors including Marion, Penny, Peter, Sophie, and Obed.
Pairs - 36 teams including Marion and Penny; Peter and Don; Tom and Chris; Obed and Fred; and, Sophie and Dave.
Triples - 24 teams including Marion, Penny and Sophie; Obed, Fred and Dave; and, Tom, Peter and Don.
Fours - 16 teams including Marion, Penny, Cary Lucier and Mark Lucier (both from Windsor); and, Sophie, Dave, Fred and Susan Dale (Port Credit).
Please wish them all GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BOWLING! If you have time and inclination, please watch them in Lindsay - they would be very happy to see everyone.

Short mat (indoor) season has begun!

Want to lawn bowl all year round? No problem! At BLBC you can bowl indoors from October to April. We roll out 3 mats in our clubhouse. The game is similar to outdoors but the greens are mats (shorter & narrower than outside) with a block in the middle to make the game more challenging. Small bowls are supplied, all you need is indoor flat-soled shoes.

Membership allows you to bowl as often as you like during Open Bowling or to join a league (if spots available).

New members can register here: NEW MEMBER SIGN-UP

Returning members simply log on to the member's site and renew their membership under MEMBERS.

Payment is required at time of registration in order to secure your spot.
