MidGlos IBCHello, August already! I can’t believe it! It’s nearly the winter season: more of that later. On 19th July a group of children from a primary school in Abbeymead came with the project leader, Amy, the headteacher and a couple of other adults to experience the game of Bowls. As part of their project on […]
Hello again, We’re back from our little break in Pembrokeshire which didn’t quite go to plan since less than an hour after we arrived, we were on our way to A&E in Haverfordwest from where we transferred to Minor Injuries. I have to say that it didn’t look very “minor” to me! Howard had gashed […]
Hello everyone, Wimbledon’s over! Thank goodness we’re going away on Tuesday for a well-deserved break in Wales! I’m exhausted after all that tennis! I’ve finally found the ladies’ outfit for us to complement the very dapper men’s uniform! Again it has to be in club colours but that’s not a problem. If you’d still prefer […]
Hello everyone, American Independence Day! We’re not American but it was the birthday of one of our former dogs! There nearly wasn’t a newsletter this week – I’ve been SO busy at Wimbledon! I’ve played every match so far. I’m an avid fan. Everything stops for a fortnight apart from my bowling matches. I just […]
Hello everyone, Here we are – our 100th issue and not much to announce! We’ve had a busy few days this week-end since our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters from Guildford have been visiting but I really thought I should make the effort to write the newsletter since we’ve reached such a milestone! Because they didn’t […]
Hello, I’m nearly there – one more newsletter to go to get to the 100! I first started this little project in order to keep folks believing that there would indeed be life after Covid back at the club. I, for one, found the lockdowns and subsequent restrictions very difficult and I believe I was […]
Hello everyone, What a busy week-end! Quite a few of us were at the club on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the almost final session of the light changing was completed. There is a row of smaller square lights, which I had never noticed, still to be done. However, that will be tackled very […]
Hi everyone, What a few days! Even if you’re a republican, you surely couldn’t have failed to be impressed by how wonderfully we do these special occasions! I must admit that I hadn’t fully appreciated the enormity of the occasion of the platinum jubilee before the event. I had just taken for granted that I’d […]
Hi, Although Monday’s date appears at the top, I actually write this on the Sunday. Just got back from Cheltenham having been to watch some of the open singles competition at Suffolk Square and a walk around the great variety of stalls at the Suffolks Sunday Market. Can’t believe we’re nearly in June – it […]
Hello everyone, Again, not a lot to report but just keeping you all in the picture… The first phase of the new LED lights is completed – half of the bowling hall is now done. The guys started work at 8.00a.m. on Wednesday and worked solidly until 3.30p.m. apart from a bacon butty break (supplied […]
