MidGlos IBCHello, 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! Seriously, it’s lovely to see the club waking up again after its enforced hibernation. Unfortunately, it’s not tropical in the club since the heating isn’t yet on and we’re […]
Hello again, I bet you were laughing on Monday if you got up to the same sight as we did – a few centimetres of snow covering everywhere and still falling! You can imagine how all the pub and restaurant owners must have felt! However, as soon as the sun appeared, it started melting quite […]
Hello everyone, What a change in the weather! Fingers crossed that something considerably warmer is coming our way for Monday! Our table outside is booked for 1.00 p.m. No laughing if it’s freezing cold and wet – we’re going whatever! The virtual voting for the AGM is going well but there is still time if […]
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 […]

Hello everyone, Sadly, I have to start with sad news. 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 […]
A muted “ Hooray “! We have heard the official response of the EIBA to the road map out of lockdown announced by the Government on Monday. No earlier than 12th April 2021, indoor bowls clubs will be able to open and have individuals or people from the same household play on the same rink […]
It’s getting harder and harder to find news since we’re not seeing anyone, doing anything or going anywhere! The gardening is on hold again. I do quite enjoy it when I’m out there but not in subzero temperatures! It’s freeeeezing out there. Even our dog was keen to get home and snuggle up to the […]
Having said in my last newsletter that gardening was out of the question, I have actually done some this afternoon and feel better for it. Should the mild weather continue (I’m not expecting it to) I’ll get on with some more tidying tomorrow. The longer this lockdown continues, the harder I find it to motivate […]
