Highlights from our Spring 2002 Season
Ontario Provincial Games in Sault Ste Marie

Athletes Meghan O'Donovan and Cliff Stone were our Track and field participants; they were accompanied by Ingrid Newbery, our Region 2 team Manager. Cliff went on to qualify as the Stratford representative to the National Games in Prince Albert, Sk.

Terry Sharpe and Michael Dale qualified at the provincial level and will advance to the National 5-pin bowling competition.
We wish them all good luck.

Thanks to Jerry Dillow, Jane Larkworthy,and Dorothy Perrier for their coaching skills.


 
Floor Hockey was discontinued, but we hope to restart, and recruit enough players in the fall, to send a team to the Provincials in Barrie in 2003.

Our 5-pin bowlers are enjoying their new facilities at Mike's Lanes. Our Spring bowling tournament was delayed by bad weather, but rescheduled at the end of April 2002.

The athletes going to the Nationals are being recognised by the city of Stratford in an upcoming ceremony.
