Canadian Blind Sports National Championships and BC Blind Sports Provincial Championships in Courtenay (Sept 2-6)

(Report by Donn, pics by Madeleine)

Six bowlers from Nanaimo took part and they all competed well against some stiff competition.

Nanaimo results were:

Randy Fred (totally blind) aided by Stan Dalzell - Gold Medal in both Provincial and National Championships

Iris Ferguson (partially sighted) aided by Mary Dalzell - Gold Medal in both Provincial and National Championships

Kendrick Wall (partially sighted) aided by Tom Williams - Silver Medal in both Provincial and National Championships

Shirley Cole (partially sighted) aided by Marcia Williams & Byron Cole - Silver Medal in the Provincials + Bronze Medal in the National Championships.

Barry Henshall (B2) placed 4th in his category. Mike Rogers is Barry's director.

Brian Lawson (B3) placed 5th in his category. Emily Lawson works with Brian.

Ed McMillan, formerly of Courtenay LBC and now bowling out of Langley won Gold in both the Provincial and National Championships. Donn Sherry is Ed's director.

David Burns directed Randy Kruzeniski, a totally blind novice bowler from North Delta, who won Silver Medals in both the Provincial and National Championships.

Shirley Cole, Kendrick Wall and Randy Fred each scored 4 Enders during the competition. This accomplishment has been submitted to Lawn Bowls Canada for possible recognition in the Greens Magazine.

Madeleine Sherry was presented the Joan McKay Trophy for her help and service to others during the tournament. This result is based on a vote by bowlers and volunteers of Courtenay Club.

Courtenay did a grand job, so did the provincial and national organisations. Even the weather held.
