MidGlos IBCHello again, It has now been confirmed that refreshments after Bob Read’s funeral will be held at Lonsdale Road Methodist Church. Everyone is welcome. The Christmas quiz was well-supported as usual and fun. Great atmosphere of cheery Christmas jumpers and twinkly lights. The area semi-final of the Egham was played this morning against Solihull. To […]
Hello everyone, As promised, the arrangements for Bob Read’s funeral – it will be on Wednesday, 18th December at Gloucester Crem at 2.00p.m. Again, as promised, an update on the fun bowls afternoon last Sunday. It was very well-received after some puzzled faces to begin with. It was such a success that something similar or […]
Hello everyone, The sad news first – Bob Read died on Friday, 22nd November. His funeral details have not yet been announced. We’ve lost another lovely man. He stopped playing only recently but has looked frail for a while. I think we all prefer the white pushers. Bob offered them to us at a very […]
Hello everyone, Just one month to go ( I’m sure the little ones are counting down the sleeps until he arrives ). The Christmas lights were turned on in Cheltenham yesterday (Saturday). Several choirs (including ours) were meant to be singing outside!!! Fortunately, the organisers managed to house everybody in different indoor venues. We’re in […]
Hello everyone, What a week-end! I’m absolutely “tired”, particularly since we’ve just returned from a drinks and nibbles get together with our new neighbours! No lunch, 21 ends and alcoholic drinks ( with not too many nibbles!!!) – not a good recipe!!! However, I’ll keep going and hope it all gels!🤞 Both the Yetton v […]

Hello everyone, What a very successful week-end for MidGlos! The Denny and the Yetton were being played on Saturday morning against Malvern – two rinks at home and two rinks away for both. It was an arduous journey for MidGlos and Malvern players playing away because of the tragedy on M5 where a young man […]
Hope 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 […]
