JP Team Tournament
Sat/Sun June 1 & 2, 2013
This is a two-day tournament that pits teams of 5 members each against each other in a friendly/competitive atmosphere. The morning sessions are Singles and Rinks, while the afternoon games are Pairs and Triples.
Team Captains are selected ahead of time and then search for bowlers to fill their ranks. You don't have to wait to be selected. If you'd like to bowl in the Team Tourney, contact Willie Weir and he will place you on a team. You don't have to be available play both days to participate.
Teams are encouraged to wear team outfits (Team Aloha was in great form in 2009).

10-1 Campus Day Cleaning
1-2 JP Spring Meeting
2-4 Club Game-Short Jack Pairs
All hands on deck, Saturday, April 27 as we whip the clubhouse and grounds into shape before the big Opening Day festivities the following weekend. This Campus Day lend your hands and clippers to sprucing up the gardens, or grab a sponge and attack the gunk in the bottom of the fridge. There is plenty to do, from window washing to office sorting to patio cleaning and hedge trimming. It ain't getting done without you, and you, and you.
Then enjoy a pizza lunch while we hold our annual JP Spring Meeting. Give the board feedback and build energy for the coming bowling season. These meetings are required in our bi-laws, but nothing says meetings can't be fun, social and informative.
At last, the reason we all joined this club, roll a bowl! The Club Game will follow the meeting. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.
Then come back the following Saturday and rock some Great Bowls of Fire!

Spring Rolls now open draw
The JPLBC Board changed the Spring Rolls League to an open draw format instead of a league. It runs Saturdays, March 9th through April 27th. Game draw at 1PM. No fee required. No scores recorded. Just show up and play in this game!
The Board felt that changing it to an open draw and daytime event would give those wishing to bowl an opportunity, during the daytime without a fee. Thanks to Amy Alesio for organizing the draw each week.
Valentines Game
Last Saturdays' Valentines Cutthroat Games were held under sunny NW skies. Five members participated and we all agreed it was great to get back together and renew our JPLBC family friendship. We drew three bowls each and played on one rink, making the clusters of bowls nowhere near the jack. In fact, our first end managed two bowls past the jack and no points. However, after sufficient sun and vitamin 'D' was absorbed, we managed to crowd the jack pretty well (moving the mat and jack 3 meters each closer may have helped).
The next games on the schedule will be Yardstick

South Central Open 2013
Neither Wind nor Rain nor Hail . . .
could stop our NW division bowlers from delivering their bowls and bringing home the rewards from the South Central Open held February 8-13, 2013.
Ahhhh...the warmth of the Arizona sun - that's what one hopes for when traveling to the southwest in February. A welcome change from the wind and the rain and the cold of the northwest winters is a comforting thought. But, Mother Nature had something else in store for this year's tournament. (Yes, that is HAIL on the greens in Arizona!)
Greeted by wind, rain, cold and hail, the NW bowlers bowled through it like pros. After all, it's nothing they haven't experienced before but it was certainly unexpected.
This little club is creating quite a corp of competitive bowlers. All NW bowlers bowled well and represented the NW in numbers and in talent. Take a look at the achievements of our Jefferson Park LBC members.
