MidGlos IBCHello, The EIBA have just issued new guidance to reflect the government plan B. It is now mandatory to wear a mask when entering the club and at all times until you leave – with the exceptions of when you are playing or seated having a drink or eating. If you have an exemption then […]
Hello, Well here we are in December! Living where we are, we’ve already had three falls of snow! If only it would fall just on the gardens and fields and not on the roads! Unfortunately the following ‘photo did not arrive in time for last week’s newsletter. It is Jim’s fire engine with Maggie, daughter […]
Hello again, Like most of you, I can’t believe it’s almost December. Where has the year gone (apart from a few months spent locked down)? This afternoon, Howard and I along with several other MidGlos members attended Jim Geoghegan’s funeral. It was very moving. In his final few days he had asked that his fire […]
Greetings everyone, In the last newsletter, I reminded you that the quiz was on the following Saturday. It was a fun evening as usual despite our not winning again but, unlike bowling, it’s the taking part that counts! Only joking (not really but I have to pretend). The next quiz is on 18th December when […]

The added attraction of this Sunday game is that bacon baps will be available as long as stocks […]
Hello everybody, If you were in the club this morning, you will have seen me in a different role! My Mrs. Mop role! Mark is off ill so members of the Board are “mucking in” or “out” would be more to the point! If anyone else fancies a turn, you’d be more than welcome – […]
Hello everybody, Not a lot to say this week. However, the list is now up for the next quiz on 13th November. Make sure you get your name down to avoid disappointment. If you are just a team of two, there are a number of fours with whom you could join since six is the […]
Hello everybody, So thrilled to tell you that our membership numbers have now reached 300+ (not all playing members but the majority are) and there are still new people coming in asking about coaching and membership. This is such welcome news since many clubs have had to close due to the pandemic. If you see […]
Hello, We arrived back from Potters on Friday afternoon after a great time! Even the weather was kind to us apart from a couple of showers one day. Thursday was absolutely beautiful – sunny and warm but Howard and I didn’t see much of it since we were bowling in the last sixteen, followed by […]
