Calling all potential Umpires! Bowls Alberta has a great idea to allow umpires to play. Plus look at the great gear you get to wear! 👏👏👏👍👍👍For provincial events this year we will have playing Umpires, and they will be recognizable by their Red/White hats. We have 14 Umpires in the province, 6 National level, 4 level 1, and 4 in progress.
We are doing our best to keep the number of people, other than Bowlers, in attendance at events to a minimum. We always have room for more Umpires and you still have time to take the course. Just leave a comment below and you will be contacted.

Well done Peter!!! They are fantastic! I can’t wait until Kenny’s next tournament to get to catch up with you! I appreciated when you keep Wendy Berg and Trevor Pohle in line!
Hi Maryann, Dan MVPSports has been bringing in these Junior Ace Bowls, from Taylors Bowls Scotland, for quite a number of years. They come in a variety of Colours, have a bias, are perfect for small hands. Not just Juniors but also anyone with a small hand, who has trouble due to health issues hanging onto even sm. sizes find these bowls fit their hands. They are great.
Congrats where did you get the Jr bowls
The Trays Look Very Nice
Peter does great work, a real asset to the club.
I believe he does ... you need to contact him directly
Those are really nice!
Those look awesome! Great work!
Great job Peter.
Love these
Well done sir!!!!
Way to go Peter !!
