MidGlos IBCHappy New Year! Let’s hope we’re on the way back to normality. It’s been difficult for all of us but I particularly feel for those of you who’ve been bereaved during Covid times and those of you who live alone. I know our club is a lifeline to so many people and to have that […]
Hello again, Sadly, the first thing I have to report is the death of Alan Woodbridge after a short illness. He was one of the founder members of our club when it was housed in The Domes. He was a good bowler who ran The Musketeers, was a well-respected businessman and served in World War […]
Hello everyone, Although I said there wouldn’t be a newsletter this week, there are some pieces of information which you need to know.

This afternoon, Howard and I along with several other MidGlos members attended Jim Geoghegan’s funeral. It was very moving. In his final few days he had asked that his fire […]
Greetings everyone, In the last newsletter, I reminded you that the quiz was on the following Saturday. It was a fun evening as usual despite our not winning again but, unlike bowling, it’s the taking part that counts! Only joking (not really but I have to pretend). The next quiz is on 18th December when […]

Hello everybody, Very sad news. Sadly Jim Geoghegan died early this morning. He had struggled for a few years with myeloma but it finally got the better of him after a stoical fight. He was a very proud man who never wanted a fuss made. When he knew that his time was limited, his primary […]
Hello everybody, Last week I flagged up that our men are playing Bristol in the Denny cup on Saturday morning starting at 10.00am and on Sunday, MidGlos A team is playing MidGlos B team in the Wessex. The added attraction of this Sunday game is that bacon baps will be available as long as stocks […]
