MidGlos IBCHope you all remembered to turn your clocks back an hour last night. Not sure the weather has realised it’s autumn/winter now. It’s glorious today. Long may it last. On Wednesday afternoon, MidGlos was playing GCIBA. Officially, we lost by one but apparently the score wasn’t quite so close. Never mind, that’s only one match. […]
The sad news first, I’m afraid. A former MidGlos member, Jim Lee who was in a care home has died. Funeral arrangements to follow when we have details. I didn’t know him but I’m told that he was a lovely chap who was very quiet but also very friendly. He joined the club at the same time […]
What a busy week-end! On Friday evening, the first round of the U18s open singles took place at MidGlos against Carterton. Two of the three boys will continue to the next round but, sadly one lost on the last end of the tiebreak having fought a very good match. On Saturday morning the preliminary round of […]
Hello again, We’re back after a great week away. Our team didn’t quite make it – although we lost in the quarters by one shot, we really shouldn’t have done. However, to reach the quarters out of 100 teams is not too shabby. During one of our games we managed a hot shot and were presented […]
Hello everyone, I hope you all survived the rain, hail, thunder and lightning which began on Friday. The journey to the club on Friday evening which normally takes 25/30 minutes took us an hour and a quarter! The Whist group decided to stay at home. Our choir leaders postponed both of our outdoor performances this […]
Hello 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 […]
