MidGlos IBCHave 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 again! This is the first newsletter of a much better year, we hope! Some dates for your diary as support is always welcome for these matches: This Sunday, 9th January Wessex B is playing Fairford. 10.00a.m. start. On 15th January, the finals of the Saturday Interclub begin at 10.00a.m. On 16th January […]
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 […]
Hello, The EIBA have just issued new guidance to reflect the government plan B. It is now mandatory to wear a mask when entering the club and at all times until you leave – with the exceptions of when you are playing or seated having a drink or eating. If you have an exemption then […]
Hello, Well here we are in December! Living where we are, we’ve already had three falls of snow! If only it would fall just on the gardens and fields and not on the roads! Unfortunately the following ‘photo did not arrive in time for last week’s newsletter. It is Jim’s fire engine with Maggie, daughter […]
Hello again, Like most of you, I can’t believe it’s almost December. Where has the year gone (apart from a few months spent locked down)? This afternoon, Howard and I along with several other MidGlos members attended Jim Geoghegan’s funeral. It was very moving. In his final few days he had asked that his fire […]
Greetings everyone, In the last newsletter, I reminded you that the quiz was on the following Saturday. It was a fun evening as usual despite our not winning again but, unlike bowling, it’s the taking part that counts! Only joking (not really but I have to pretend). The next quiz is on 18th December when […]
