Village Lanes and Chase have something to be extremely proud of this week.

The local ladies team who represented Chase this past weekend at the National Classified Provincial Finals in Kelowna are off to the National Finals in Toronto, Ont. on June 19 to 22.

This is Village Lanes’ first team since the grand opening to represent the bowling centre and the Village at the National Level.

The dream team consisting of Kristyne McCoy, Sandra Coates, Karen Dennis, Ali Maki, and Linda Woodford will now be representing the province of British Columbia while they compete against other ladies teams from provinces across the Country.

“Each and every member of the team contributed equally to the outcome of the event,” says Calyn Buresh, manager at Village Lanes. “I’ve watched Linda bowl for 20 years, and watching her compete this weekend is something I’ll never forget,” says Buresh, speaking about Linda Woodford, who earned the Class 5 All-Star award for her performance this past weekend.

The ladies will have to prove their endurance and stamina in Toronto, where they will bowl 14 games in the two days they are there.

The folks at Village Lanes wish them all the best, with the hope that Chase and Village Lanes will be able to say that for this year, they are the best competitors in Canada.

This past weekend the proprietors of Village Lanes also took their King and Queen out for dinner to celebrate the winning of “King & Queen of the Lanes” tournament that was held back in April. King, James Savage, and Queen, Marion Jackson, were treated to a dinner at the Quaaout Lodge Resort. Tournament sponsors were appreciated.

Registration is being taken for Kids Bowl Free program where children can bowl two free games every day this summer.
