MidGlos IBCHello everyone, My goodness, it’s almost June. At least the weather is a little more as it should be at this time of year. Since I didn’t write a newsletter last week, I wasn’t able to mention the sad news of Cyril Leach. I didn’t know him when he was a playing member of the […]
Hello everyone, Really great news! Stage 3 releasing of the lockdown is going ahead on Monday 17th May as we had hoped. This means that we can return to bowling under the rule of six. The summer schedules are now on the website. Both the Friday morning and Friday evening umbrellas start again on 21st […]
Hello everyone, This is not a full newsletter but just to inform you of some more sad news. Alan Yates has died after a long illness. He had not been a member for a while because of ill health. However, I remember him from the Friday morning umbrella when he was usually the last to […]
Hello, It’s good to see so many of you taking advantage of the free bowling. Don’t get used to it – it won’t last for ever!

Hello everyone,Not quite as nice today but yesterday and Tuesday were wonderful – a taste of summer weather with spring flowers. I don’t know how far into Gloucestershire it’s spread but we’ve woken up to Saharan dust all over the cottage windows and cars! We’re creeping ever closer to being able to meet each other […]
Hello everyone, More sad news … This morning, Ray Turner died. He had had problems with his heart for many years and was in hospital having undergone more surgery to fix his internal defibrillator. This was a success but sadly, he was too weak to fully recover. Our heartfelt condolences go to Pam and his […]

You have already been informed by Kath but in case some of you missed it, I have to report that Colin Inward, a former full member and latterly a social member died earlier in the year. More recently, Muriel Cooper, Reg Cooper’s wife, died after […]
