MidGlos IBCHello for the last time this summer season! Just ONE WEEK to go! How exciting! I do like summer (if we have one) but I no longer dread winter because it now means – more bowling. Wonderful! A gentle reminder for our members returning from playing outdoors for the last few months. GRIPPO AND THE LIKE is […]
Hello again, And it’s still sunny! We wish all of our members who are playing in the finals in Leamington the best of luck. I’ve been told that Dylan and Fin Williamson are playing on Wednesday morning and that it is being streamed from 9.15 on the Bowls England website. Go for it, lads. The date for the […]
Hello again, I can’t believe it’s still sunny. I’m loving it but I’m not sure everyone feels the same way. It was definitely sunny and hot when we played our friendly against Cheltenham B C at Suffolk Square last Monday afternoon. We did lose but by just 10 shots – 67/77 which was very respectable considering that […]
Hello again, Today’s the day for the match at Suffolk Square between MidGlos IBC and Cheltenham BC at 2.00p.m. Supporters more than welcome. We’ll need it!! Whether you’re playing or spectating, be sure to be “sun-creamed up” with some sort of head protection if you’re “follically challenged”. I ordered dry weather but perhaps not quite as […]
Hello, Although I said that there wouldn’t be a newsletter this week, here I am. As a result of the Board meeting held earlier today (Friday), there are too many items which need to be covered sooner than in a week’s time. The first sad thing to have to announce is the death of Bryan White a […]
Hello again, Yet another musical performance for Fred and me. This time in The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham Sunday afternoon in the heat! We had some lovely feedback afterwards which does make it all worthwhile. Our charity this year is “Mind”. So far, we have raised over £12,500 and hope to reach our target of £15,000. Since […]
Hello again,Another gruelling week of tennis! Both singles finals were captivating. I don’t understand or follow football but I hope England does it. The result will be known by the time this newsletter hits you🤞. Frank Skelton has solved some of the new government’s problems: See you in Rwanda! We don’t hear much from our members who […]
Hello again, I’m absolutely exhausted and I’ve got another week to go of Wimbledon! I’m busy decorating in the morning and then tennis in the afternoon. As far as meals are concerned, we have what I call Wimbledon food – quick and easy. I was decorating this morning with no idea of what we would be […]
Hello again, Not much news to fill a newsletter last week but here we are again. A week ago, Steve Bluck was our quizmaster under very trying conditions – the microphone system decided to give up the ghost! He still just about had a voice by the end of the evening but those who have difficulty […]
Hello 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 […]
