      <title>Lawn Bowling &amp; BBQ 2026 (August 07, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We're going lawn bowling again in Meaford!&amp;nbsp; We've organized a lawn bowling event for the past 3 years, and it's really a lot of fun!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;Lawn bowling is a low-impact exercise that includes walking, bending and stretching—suitable for all fitness levels. No prior experience is needed! We will be given a 10-minute lesson in the basics of the game, and then be divided into teams to play, with volunteers from the Club helping us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The only specific dress requirement is flat, soft-soled shoes, with no open heels or toes (in case you drop a ball!) and no spikes or cleats. We also highly recommend wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying sunscreen, as there’s no shade on the lawn.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;The&amp;nbsp; BBQ following the bowling will consist of sausages or hamburgers (you will be asked to indicate your choice when you register), and salads, a variety of cold non-alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee, and dessert.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;Unfortunately, the Meaford Lawn Bowling Club sustained some damage to the playing area with last winter's ice.&amp;nbsp; As a result, we cannot use the entire playing surface, so are limited to 32 participants&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;General Information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;$38.00&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;per person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Refund Policy:&lt;/strong&gt; As with past years, refunds will not be given. If you need to cancel before the event—and if there is a waiting list—we will put you in contact with waitlisted members to help you resell your ticket. But there is no guarantee that tickets can be resold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members Only:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to space limitations, non-member guests are not permitted at this event. The option to "Add a Spouse/Partner" during registration is only intended for use by member couples that wish to register and pay together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
