MidGlos IBCHello again, Yet another musical performance for Fred and me. This time in The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham Sunday afternoon in the heat! We had some lovely feedback afterwards which does make it all worthwhile. Our charity this year is “Mind”. So far, we have raised over £12,500 and hope to reach our target of £15,000. Since […]
Hello again,Another gruelling week of tennis! Both singles finals were captivating. I don’t understand or follow football but I hope England does it. The result will be known by the time this newsletter hits you🤞. Frank Skelton has solved some of the new government’s problems: See you in Rwanda! We don’t hear much from our members who […]
Hello again, I’m absolutely exhausted and I’ve got another week to go of Wimbledon! I’m busy decorating in the morning and then tennis in the afternoon. As far as meals are concerned, we have what I call Wimbledon food – quick and easy. I was decorating this morning with no idea of what we would be […]
Hello again, Not much news to fill a newsletter last week but here we are again. A week ago, Steve Bluck was our quizmaster under very trying conditions – the microphone system decided to give up the ghost! He still just about had a voice by the end of the evening but those who have difficulty […]
Hello again … after a week off – there was nothing much to report. Sadly, I have to report the death of Stephen Tomkins on Wednesday of a heart attack. I, for one, was so shocked. I’d been playing against him recently when we’d exchanged experiences of Bucklers Hard in the New Forest. He was […]
Hello again, Hope you’ve enjoyed the bank holiday. Other than bowling at the club this morning, we do our best to stay off the roads on bank holidays. I do hope none of you was foolish enough to enter the cheese-rolling events this morning! Cars were abandoned everywhere. We toyed with the idea of opening […]
Hello again, Just a quick newsletter this week before we head off to the New Forest for a few days although it looks as if we’ve chosen the wrong week! Should have gone last week since I’m not keen on rain, wind and cooler temperatures! Hey ho, it is what it is and we’ll have […]
Hello again, Another week gone and here we are again. I’m writing this in sunshine and inside out of the perishing wind. I know that some outdoor greens have already opened and, those that haven’t, are on the brink of doing so. Our former crown green bowling club is already open and the leagues have […]
Hello again, Half way through April already and almost a third of the year gone! I’m sure time goes quicker these days. Even youngsters remark on how time flies. But …. everything is starting to burst into life after sleeping for far too long. I love the different fresh greens of Spring. The days are […]
Hello everyone and I mean everyone. If you have now left to bowl outside during the season, we are still here at MidGlos and I will endeavour to keep you up-to-date with what’s going on. We look forward to welcoming you back in September. Before your summer season begins outside, we have the presentation evening this Friday at […]
