MidGlos IBCHello everyone, Another week has flown by and we’re heading to that sad time of year when we have to say goodbye to our outdoor bowlers. To that end, Steve Bluck has asked that last year’s summer captains confirm their teams for this coming season. New teams are always very welcome. If you’d like to […]
Hello everyone, I’ll start with the sad news. I have to report another death. Jim Clifford died on 4th February. He was a lovely, gentle man who had been ill for quite a time. His wife died a couple of years ago. He missed her dreadfully. Initially he used to come to the club just […]
Hello everyone, Thankfully there are no deaths to announce this week but it is both Barrie Hesling’s funeral at midday on Tuesday and Steve Pope’s at 11.00 a.m. on Thursday. The Area Final of the Mixed Pairs between Malvern and North Wilts proved to be a very exciting game on Friday evening with the young […]
Hello, That’s January almost gone! At least it’s a little warmer for now. I was rather hoping that our spate of members dying had come to an end but I have to report that Irene Barrett, wife of Steve Barrett has sadly died. She had to stop playing due to ill health a few years […]
Hello again, Wow! Did you see the final of World Bowls? What a game! It really was a true final and between two “qualifiers”. It’s good to see some new names and faces coming through. Talking of faces and World Bowls, did you see Margaret and Campbell McColl on Saturday in the crowd? I now […]
Hello everyone, There’s lots to announce this week but I’ll start with the sad news which you will already know if you’ve been into the club this week. I now have a photo of Joy Bloor whose death I announced last week. Sadly two more long-standing members have died this week – John Punshon and […]
Hello all, Finally, I think I am on the road to recovery after nearly three weeks. On Saturday our men were playing away (with the ladies’ permission!) at a neutral green and beat Bounds Green in the Denny Plate and progress to the National Quarter Finals on Saturday 28 January. Well done to all who […]
Happy New Year! Let’s hope it’s a good one for all of us. I hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve. Mine was spent in much the same way as Christmas – suffering from some sort of quite nasty virus (not Covid). At least I stayed awake! On my twenty-first (not that long […]
Hello everyone for the last time in 2022! Hope you had a good Christmas. We had a lovely time spent with our younger daughter and family and now we have our older daughter and family with us. We had a great time at Potters. We’ll have to wait until another time to get to the […]
Greetings, It’s my birthday (forty and a bit bigger bit than last year) and we’re off to Potters to play in Champion of Champions. We’ve never quite reached the final but we’ll give it another go! What a week we’ve had! We had quite a dollop of snow which is still largely here in Chedworth. […]
