Gander Toyota Bowling Invitational
The tournament was held oct 24 - we had 90 bowlers with regions represented being Gander, Exploits, Baie Verte, Mount Pearl, St John`s, and Clarenville(one athlete from plate cove - shannon walsh - we met him at a summer games a few years ago and renewed the acquaintance in Mount Pearl - we extended the invitation and he came and had a great day) .
The bowling took place in three divisions with medals given for total pinfall. While the athletes weren`t bowling they could watch a movie or take part in musical entertainment - greg blumer, mark thibeault, and allison pittman lead the group in a sing a long and musical games. There was a banquet and dance with medals were presented by Minister Kevin O`Brien and Councillor Rob Anstey.
The tournament was made possible by a generous donation from Joe Penney at Gander Toyota. He is the annual sponsor of this event and donates $1000 to it every year - this allows us to charge the athletes just $10 each to attend.
