MidGlos IBCHello 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 […]
Hello everyone, What a busy week-end! Quite a few of us were at the club on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the almost final session of the light changing was completed. There is a row of smaller square lights, which I had never noticed, still to be done. However, that will be tackled very […]
Hi everyone, What a few days! Even if you’re a republican, you surely couldn’t have failed to be impressed by how wonderfully we do these special occasions! I must admit that I hadn’t fully appreciated the enormity of the occasion of the platinum jubilee before the event. I had just taken for granted that I’d […]
Hi, Although Monday’s date appears at the top, I actually write this on the Sunday. Just got back from Cheltenham having been to watch some of the open singles competition at Suffolk Square and a walk around the great variety of stalls at the Suffolks Sunday Market. Can’t believe we’re nearly in June – it […]
Hello everyone, Again, not a lot to report but just keeping you all in the picture… The first phase of the new LED lights is completed – half of the bowling hall is now done. The guys started work at 8.00a.m. on Wednesday and worked solidly until 3.30p.m. apart from a bacon butty break (supplied […]
Hello folks, We’re back after our few days on the Dorset/Somerset border. We hired a converted barn which had been finished to a high standard with the furnishings to match. Having booked several months ago, we had no idea that we’d be so lucky with the weather. We couldn’t have wished for better. On the […]
Hello folks, Not much to report this week. I hadn’t even realised that this week-end is a bank holiday week-end! That’s one of the beauties of retirement – every day’s a holiday! I wish! A reminder about Whist – it will continue throughout the summer with the next one being this Friday, 6th May. The […]
Hello everyone, The Club Competitions have finally been completed with the last one being played on the morning of the Presentation Evening – last minute or what?! As with many of the competitions this year, the delay was down to Covid followed by a pre-booked holiday away. It was the ladies’ over 65 four wood […]
