MidGlos IBCHello again … after a week off – there was nothing much to report. Sadly, I have to report the death of Stephen Tomkins on Wednesday of a heart attack. I, for one, was so shocked. I’d been playing against him recently when we’d exchanged experiences of Bucklers Hard in the New Forest. He was […]
Hello again, Hope you’ve enjoyed the bank holiday. Other than bowling at the club this morning, we do our best to stay off the roads on bank holidays. I do hope none of you was foolish enough to enter the cheese-rolling events this morning! Cars were abandoned everywhere. We toyed with the idea of opening […]
Hello again, Just a quick newsletter this week before we head off to the New Forest for a few days although it looks as if we’ve chosen the wrong week! Should have gone last week since I’m not keen on rain, wind and cooler temperatures! Hey ho, it is what it is and we’ll have […]
Hello again, Another week gone and here we are again. I’m writing this in sunshine and inside out of the perishing wind. I know that some outdoor greens have already opened and, those that haven’t, are on the brink of doing so. Our former crown green bowling club is already open and the leagues have […]
Hello again, Half way through April already and almost a third of the year gone! I’m sure time goes quicker these days. Even youngsters remark on how time flies.

Hello everyone and I mean everyone. If you have now left to bowl outside during the season, we are still here at MidGlos and I will endeavour to keep you up-to-date with what’s going on. We look forward to welcoming you back in September. Before your summer season begins outside, we have the presentation evening this Friday at […]
Hello everyone, Happy Easter everyone. Hope your clocks sprang forward last night and that you’re not an hour behind! Roger Fry has asked me to post the finals information.He and Gill have worked hard on this but he is aware that there may still be some changes to be made. It’s not easy – each […]
Hello everyone, 21st March may well be the official first day of Spring but we seem to have reverted to Winter! We went to see our elder daughter and family in Guildford yesterday. Not only did we drive through hail on the way but walking from their house to lunch out was freezing in the […]
Hello again, Well done to Fin last week for winning a nice amount of money in the Open Singles Circuit. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be this week as he was knocked out this morning (Sunday). However, the last I heard, Lee, his Dad was still in it and about to play his third game. Let’s […]
Hello again, Let’s see if I can get everything right this week! First of all – congratulations to MidGlos for beating GVPBA on Saturday afternoon. But, last Sunday, we had a young MidGlos lady winning both the pairs and singles in our U18 competition. Erin Burke, along with Dylan Williamson won the pairs and Erin […]
