Grabbing third-place honours were Ziutka Hundley, James MacDonald and Lorane Martin, with fourth place going to Luci Ewen, Suzanne Ewen and Erik Ewen.
The tournament was in honour of Pat and Gavin Reid. Gavin was the man with the vision to include an indoor lawn bowling extension to the Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club. He was the project manager who passed away earlier this year. His wife Pat passed away some years ago.
“We owe so much to this man,” said Jack. “And although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.”
