Bowling

The Newcomers Bowling League has been a joint activity of Newcomers & Plus 3s for about 25 years - - it is fun, healthful, and a great opportunity to socialize. About 80 of our members are involved and 45 to 50 of them bowl at the Capri Valley Lanes every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. from September through April. The cost for 3 games is $11.00. Regular bowlers also pay $30 in September to cover the cost of incidentals and lunch & prizes at the year-end wind-up Awards Luncheon. If you want to join the fun and bowl as either a regular on a team or a spare, please contact Richard Pringle

Walking Group

The Walking Group meets on Thursday mornings at 9:00 or 9:30 am, dependent on the time of year. The activity is a joint activity with the Newcomers walking group. The walk lasts about an hour and the route is usually over relatively flat terrain such as along the lakeshore or the Mission Creek parkway. Occasionally the terrain will be more challenging. The walk locations are announced in advance by E-mail and all you have to do is show up at the meeting point. The group normally goes out for coffee after the walk at a nearby location.
