Nanaimo lawn bowling executive Harvey Hodgins was recognized for his many years as an ambassador of the sport.
Hodgins, founding president of the Beban Park Lawn Bowling Club, recently received a pin from Bowls Canada president Gary Robinson to recognize Hodgins’s 50 years of participation in the sport.
Hodgins notes that the Beban club is open year round and there is someone there almost every day, weather permitting.
"Had a great time bowling against the president of the Dartmouth, N.S. club Jan. 27, 28, 29 and 30 this year, probably the only really nice days all winter," Hodgins said in a press release.
