Hello from a very snowy Chedworth! I know we’re not the only ones to have had the white stuff. However, being so high up, we’ve had more than our fair share and, for the moment, can’t get out of our village. Whichever way we turn out of our drive, there is a hill to negotiate. […]

Hello again, Let’s start with the sad news. Sadly, our oldest member of the club, Ken Spink, died last week. He was such a lovely man. I inherited John Tolmie’s team (Jet Set), which became “The Easers” before Covid struck. Ken had been a member of that team for a number of years. Howard and […]

After the editing, we came out with about two minutes, at most, exposure on the 6.00p.m. and (for some) the 10.00pm News. Our chairman is available for autographs provided you make an appointment! I think he did […]

Hello all, Thank goodness! I have no deaths or funerals to announce. Let’s hope it stays that way for a long time. I have been asked to inform everyone that, if a team finds itself short of a player on the day, not to ask someone on reception to fill in. This has happened in […]

Hello again, I hate being the purveyor of bad news but sadly, I have to report that Bill Notman died in his sleep on Saturday night. He hadn’t been well enough to play this season but I really thought he’d recover and be back. He was an excellent lead with a lovely dry sense of […]

Hello everyone, I’ll start with the uplifting news before the yet more sad news. I was pleased to see that a good number of folks made the effort to wear something pink on Friday in support of breast cancer awareness, particularly since so many of our ladies have been affected by it. On Friday evening […]

Hello all, Once again there is some sad news. Those of you who’ve been into the club this week will have seen that Shirley Cromie has died after a short illness. Another shock since she was always so spritely and, like Hugh, she’d been playing outdoors all summer. For many years she was the club […]

Hello everyone, Some sad news to begin with, I’m afraid. The oldest member of our club, Hugh Hart died on Thursday, I think. He was 94 but still playing both outdoors and in. In fact he played on Monday. Such a shock but so good that he was active to the end. He was in […]
