MidGlos IBCHello all, I hope you’ve come out of Storm Eunice unscathed, dry and with the minimum of damage, if any, to your home and garden. Thankfully we’ve escaped apart from some disrupted journeys due to fallen trees. Because of Eunice, the EIBA have allowed us to postpone the Mason’s game until next week. Hopefully the […]
Another week gone! Is it just age or is time moving more quickly? Sadly, we’re approaching the end of our winter bowling. That’s good news, I know, for our outdoor bowlers but it means that we have to say goodbye to a lot of folks for a while. However, if you’re finding the greens too […]
February already! And it’s lovely to see the days lengthening, snowdrops in bloom, daffodils shooting through and the gardens generally waking up. The downside is that, now that we are able to get into the garden, we can see all the jobs which we should have done before winter closed in. The parts which I’ve […]
Hello again, If you’ve been into the club today, you will have seen that the notices about mask-wearing have changed. As from today, masks are no longer mandatory. It’s time to learn to live with this virus which is here to stay in one form or other just like influenza. However, as we make our […]
Have you been watching World Bowls? I can’t believe that both Nick Brett and Mark Dawes are out of both the men’s pairs and the mixed. When Mark’s local club closed, he should have come to MidGlos. We’re half an hour nearer than the Spalding club which he joined meaning that he could have got […]
Well, I really don’t have the time to write this newsletter what with bowling, walking the dog, cooking, cleaning and watching World Bowls on YouTube until it begins on 17th on Terrestrial TV. There have been some cracking matches already. I should be spot on now having watched the masters at work. Sadly, there’s more […]

Happy New Year! Let’s hope we’re on the way back to normality. It’s been difficult for all of us but I particularly feel for those of you who’ve been bereaved during Covid times and those of you who live alone. I know our club is a lifeline to so many people and to have that […]
Hello again, Sadly, the first thing I have to report is the death of Alan Woodbridge after a short illness. He was one of the founder members of our club when it was housed in The Domes. He was a good bowler who ran The Musketeers, was a well-respected businessman and served in World War […]
Hello everyone, Although I said there wouldn’t be a newsletter this week, there are some pieces of information which you need to know. Since the introduction of Plan B by the Government, the EIBA have issued new guidelines which are pretty much as they were except that the wearing of masks when entering, leaving and […]
