MidGlos IBCHere we go again – the first newsletter of another lockdown! As I said before, we did it last time so we’ll do it again, but the weather is not likely to be quite as favourable as last time! Hey ho, let’s hope this lockdown achieves what the government is hoping for. Fortunately, we managed […]
Hello again, More really good news! Thank goodness there’s something positive to report in these dark days (in more ways than one). Membership Our current membership stands at 311 (as of Tuesday this week) – not far off pre-Covid times. Within that number are 237 standard members and five under 14s (two boys and three […]

We’re back! Potters Update We had a great time at Potters but not quite Potters as we know it. We’ve been going twice a year for a number of years to play in a mid-week tournament. Such tournaments are played almost every week from September to March. Anyone can enter and there’s usually a mixture […]
Hello again, The good news is that I’m away next week at Potters (very different from what we’re used to. They have made huge changes in order to comply with the ever-changing rules imposed be the government and the EIBA) and so there won’t be a newsletter. While on the subject of changes, I do […]

Good news! We are still permitted to bowl in our Covid secure environment! However, we are now restricted to trips only from today, Thursday. It could have been so much worse! The EIBA could have decided to cancel all bowling. BUT they haven’t – thank goodness! My only option for a winter with no bowling […]
This will be the last newsletter before the winter season starts on Monday, 21st. For those of you who are not familiar with the new Covid etiquette for bowling at the club, please make sure that you read the “ winter bowling etiquette “ in Newsletter 18, on the web site and on the tables […]

Hello again, First of all, a huge “thank you” to those of you who responded to my plea for more volunteers to man the office. A number of people came forward with their names offering different times when they could assist. After tomorrow, I’ll know if I have to go on my knees again or […]
