5.11.19 LBLBC Open House

Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling Club's annual Open House was held on Saturday May 11 from 10:00am to past 2:30pm. We opened the club up to the general public for them to try out the game of bowls and a good number of them came.


We also had a healthy contingent of members supporting the effort ranging from greeters, signer uppers, coaches, volunteer hospitality, setter uppers and tearer downers, and just plain hanger outers. Thanks to everybody for showing up and helping. The event was a success!


We signed up 40 new members and there are probably more who will sign up in May and June because the dues are prorated and initiation fees waived.
