MidGlos IBCHello everyone, Another week, another newsletter! First of all, I’m pleased to learn that the ladies at least read the newsletter since we had a record number attending the Ladies Meeting. Thank you to all who turned up and the apologies received (several due to Covid – thankfully, although in some cases nasty, nowhere near […]
Hello everyone, Isn’t it lovely to see sunshine and the days lengthening but the first item on this week’s agenda is sad. You will have seen his photo up in the club at reception. Gordon Brown, a former long-standing member has recently died. His funeral will be on 23rd March at 3pm at Gloucester Crematorium […]
Hello everyone, We’re back after a very enjoyable time at Potters. Some of us had been before and knew what to expect but all the newcomers were very impressed and I think would like to go again. Apart from bowling, there is plenty to do. A few ladies and Ron Wilks enjoyed line dancing (Sandy […]
Hello everyone, By the time this hits your device, we’ll be well on our way down to Hopton on Sea in Norfolk! The club should be a lot quieter this week with thirty of us away. We know we’ll have a good time but I’ll report on how well we do on the bowling front […]
Hello all, I hope you’ve come out of Storm Eunice unscathed, dry and with the minimum of damage, if any, to your home and garden. Thankfully we’ve escaped apart from some disrupted journeys due to fallen trees. Because of Eunice, the EIBA have allowed us to postpone the Mason’s game until next week. Hopefully the […]
Another week gone! Is it just age or is time moving more quickly? Sadly, we’re approaching the end of our winter bowling. That’s good news, I know, for our outdoor bowlers but it means that we have to say goodbye to a lot of folks for a while. However, if you’re finding the greens too […]
February already! And it’s lovely to see the days lengthening, snowdrops in bloom, daffodils shooting through and the gardens generally waking up. The downside is that, now that we are able to get into the garden, we can see all the jobs which we should have done before winter closed in. The parts which I’ve […]
Hello again, If you’ve been into the club today, you will have seen that the notices about mask-wearing have changed. As from today, masks are no longer mandatory. It’s time to learn to live with this virus which is here to stay in one form or other just like influenza. However, as we make our […]
Have you been watching World Bowls? I can’t believe that both Nick Brett and Mark Dawes are out of both the men’s pairs and the mixed. When Mark’s local club closed, he should have come to MidGlos. We’re half an hour nearer than the Spalding club which he joined meaning that he could have got […]
Well, I really don’t have the time to write this newsletter what with bowling, walking the dog, cooking, cleaning and watching World Bowls on YouTube until it begins on 17th on Terrestrial TV. There have been some cracking matches already. I should be spot on now having watched the masters at work. Sadly, there’s more […]
