NORTH VANCOUVER’S Peter
Fish returned to North Vancouver
with a bronze medal from the C1-
nadian national lawn bowling
championships held Aug. 16 to 21
in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The 40-year-old North Shore
businessman beat Saskatchewan
18-17 in the first round of the
championship’s playoffs, but lost
25-23 to gold medal winner Nova
Scotia and lost 18-14 to Alberta in
the silver medal game.

Fish, who won the 1984 General
Motors Gold Cup while playing in
Ontario, took up the sport follow-
ing a three-year layoff after he
read a story in the July 1 News
publicizing a lawn bowling cham-
pionship hosted by the North Van-
couver Lawn Bowling Club.

Though pleased with his bronze

medal, Fish said, ‘‘! was disap-
pointed | didn’t win the gold
because [ knew [ could have won
it. I missed it by two inches.”

Fish, who has played the sport
off and on since he was 19, said he
would now continue playing and
would apply for inclusion on the
Canadian national team next year.

In addition to Fish’s bronze in
the singles event of the champion-
ship, North Shore residents Dave
Brown and Bob Scullion won a
silver medal for B.C. in the pairs
category after losing to
Saskatchewan in the gold medal
game.

Nine provinces competed in the
national lawn bowling champion-
ship.

B.C. won the overall team
award at the event.

Classes are organized by ages
and based on six participants per
coach.

The program is set up to allow
gymnasts the opportunity to move
through progressions and skills
from a beginner to advanced rec-
reational level as they are ready
and successfully complete program
challenges.

The competitive arm of the pro-
gram falls under the Whip-Its
Gymnastic Club. The Whip-Its
train both male and female gym-
nasts for B.C. level competitions.

For further information, contact
Penny Erickson at 926-3266.

Registration for all programs
begins Sept. 12, 9 a.m. to 12 noon,
at the recreation centre on 22nd
Street.
