MidGlos IBCHello, As I announced last week, we had a board meeting on Thursday where week-end opening was discussed. Having correlated the information gained from the questionnaire returns, as it stands, the number of members prepared to commit to week-end bowling is low. Let me clarify “week-end opening”. This would be in addition to the week-end […]
Hello again, There is a board meeting being held this Thursday afternoon after the Thursday morning league game when week-end opening is on the agenda. If you still haven’t completed the questionnaire online or filled in a printed copy at the club, please make sure that your opinion is heard. We are looking for genuine […]
Hi everyone, Thankfully the rain did indeed come but not enough to spare us a hosepipe ban if you’re with Thames Water as we are! Just four weeks to go now until the winter season begins. Don’t forget to pick up your registration documents from reception to save the expense of postage. Payment is due […]
Hello everyone, It’s been another scorcher this week with more to come! The beauty of indoor bowling is that it’s air-conditioned and very pleasant. We’ve even had members coming in just to sit and watch and have a coffee in comfort rather than be at home sweating. The new registration packs are now ready for […]
Hello, 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 […]
