2025 Memorial Tournament

We had our second annual Memorial tournament Sept. 6th. Sadly we lost Joan Page this year so all coffee funds on the day were donated in Joan’s honour to CNIB. We had great weather and lots of fun. As usual our kitchen staff outdid themselves with baked spaghetti, salads and garlic toast.

2025 Grassroots Tournament

A number of us traveled to North Battleford to attend the Grassroots tournament in July. Although the weather could have been a bit more agreeable we still managed to have a great time.

100th Anniversary

The 100th anniversary kickoff of Mayfair Lawn Bowling Club was a huge success
despite the wild winds and cool weather. Our pancake breakfast proved to be very
popular with a mountain of pancakes & sausages served to around 170 people. At
noon, the 63rd Legion Bagpipe band piped in our dignitaries for our ceremonies. Our
President Arlene Chermishnok introduced our dignitaries, the city councilor for Caswell
Hill (Senos Timon), Bowls Canada president Anne Mathewson, Bowls Saskatchewan
representative Alex Scott, Nutana Lawn Bowling Club president Joseph Chan & Caswell
Hill past president Ian Roach. All spoke of the important role our club has played in the
community and city for the last 100 years. We then got to enjoy the indigenous dancers
from Bedford Road School. After the ceremonies hot dogs & cake were served along
with some great music by Five Guys named Dave. It was a great way to kick off our
100th season.

2025 New Zealand 5 Competition

The Mayfair Club volunteer members along with The Layton’s successfully presented the 14th Annual New Zealand Five May 17 th . How lucky we were to enjoy great weather and this time a first ever 50 players, 10 teams. Our guests from North Battleford, Moose Jaw and Regina clubs were in attendance and we are always so pleased to see them and renew acquaintances. Our friends and neighbor club of Nutana are always in strong attendance and are always helpful in finding players to fill the positions.
Bill Edwards of the Saskatoon Funeral Home and companies has been our major sponsor for the past 14 years. We enjoyed his attendance at this year’s event along with his wife Eleanor, so that we could thank him in person for his support. Two other supports this year were The Layton’s and Shawna Pickrell.
During the opening of this event, Arlene Chermishnok , President enjoyed the pleasure of presently the Award of Merit, a volunteer jacket, supplied by Bowls Sask to our recipient Mary Glenister. Mary’s unique talent of beautification of our club was again on display. She also, volunteers in so many other ways.
Since, our club is celebrating 100 years in 2025. We began with presenting each player with a cloth and flipping coin, designed by Nick Jones of Moose Jaw depicting 100 years. A lunch, that was included in registration fees was advertised as a burger, chips and a drink, overwhelmingly came with a feast like no other. A thank you to the BBQ man who donates a couple hours each year to cook, so all Mayfair members are able to play. To note, that anyone can play the game of bowls from a very early age to almost 100 years. We asked players to “REVEAL” their ages and come forth to choose either spray chalk or grippo as token of longevity within the game of bowls. Our early age starter was Tyler Sheffied, our Jr. bowler and we had 9 other 80 plus players in attendance.

The Layton’s, who have presented this tournament for 14 years, announced they are handing the reins to others.

Here are the results of this year’s tournament:
