After the newsletter went out yesterday, Vicki Jo Bowden reached out and asked us to share a follow‑up message.

Sadly, due to the unexpected passing of her son several weeks ago, Vicki Jo has made the very difficult decision to step back from her position on the 2026 WLBC Board. On behalf of the entire Wanderers Lawn Bowling Club, we extend our sincere condolences to Vicki Jo and her family during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are with her, and we appreciate the grace and strength she has shown in keeping our club informed.

We are happy to share that Vicki Jo is doing better and remains committed to continuing to bowl with us this season.
As a result, the WLBC Board now has a vacancy in the Social and Clubhouse Chair position.

If you are interested in volunteering for this role, you can review the position description on our website:

The WLBC Board will meet on Monday, April 27 to consider candidates to fill this vacancy for the remainder of the season, as per our current By‑Laws. If you are interested in volunteering, please email us at [email protected]
