Hello Jingle-bowlers,

‘Tis the season for.. well, the end of our first season. This Wednesday will be our playoff night where first place and second place teams will square off against each other, third vs. fourth, and so on. So it’s game on!

Also, our third theme night is upon us. It’s ‘dress as your favourite Christmas carol’ night. That could be Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer or Carol Burnette in a Santa hat; be as creative as you can. Top three costumes will get a special treat.

This will be our last night before the New Year. Our 2nd season starts up again on January 4th. We hope everyone has a safe, healthy holiday! Eat, drink, and be a Mary, but please don’t drink and drive!

And finally, in the spirit of the season, we encourage you to bring a non-perishable or seven with you this week. No one needs to wake up hungry on Christmas morning.

Thanks for all the fun this year. We look forward to another exciting season of friends and fun in the new year. And don’t be afraid to invite a new friend for next year.

Hello fabulous, festive, bowling buddies,

Tis the season for spirited celebration and celebrations with spirits (and we don’t mean Ouija boards, but if that’s your thing don’t let us stop you).

This Friday, December 9th, at 8PM is our much anticipated GHBL Christmas party and I wanted to go over a few things.

First, please plan ahead for transportation if you plan on drinking. Plan to share a cab, get a DD or even wear some nice walking boots if you live close by. We’d like everyone to have a memorable time and we want it remembered for it being a good time, not for troubles on the way home.

Second, think about if your team would like to join in the gift exchange game. The limit for the gift is $20 per team. We know that’s not a lot these days but the holidays do find people’s bank accounts under the weather and this is just a fun game. That being said, you can be as creative as you want in your gifting (yes, that’s a challenge) and it’s sure to be fun. If your team wants to participate all you have to do is bring your gift to the party. If your team opts out then they can watch all the fun from the sidelines. Please make sure your gift is wrapped.

In other news, since our last theme night went SO well I’m posting the next one early AND I will remind you all closer to the date about it so I’m not the only one wearing a too small, fuscia, angry puppy sweater, and so Brian can re-attach his balls to a new outfit. It will be December 21st.

This month’s theme night will be a Christmas Carol Theme. Dress as your favourite carol, or character from a carol, or do with that theme idea what you will. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be awarded. This is also our team competition night where the first and second place teams square off against each other and so on down the line so be cautious about wearing something that you won’t blame for your loss, should you lose a game or three.

And last, but certainly not least, last year we did a canned food drive for Christmas and would like to continue to do that again this year. For the month of December if you feel generous you can bring some non-perishable food donations and we will make sure it gets to people who need it.

That is all, my lovelies!

See your shining faces tonight for another fun bowling adventure!
