MidGlos IBCHello, Well here we are in December! Living where we are, we’ve already had three falls of snow! If only it would fall just on the gardens and fields and not on the roads! Unfortunately the following ‘photo did not arrive in time for last week’s newsletter. It is Jim’s fire engine with Maggie, daughter […]
Hello again, Like most of you, I can’t believe it’s almost December. Where has the year gone (apart from a few months spent locked down)? 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 everyone, After the sad news of Jim Geoghegan, I now have details of his funeral. It will take place at 1.00pm on Thursday 25th November at Coney Hill Crematorium, Gloucester. Full fire service send off and afterwards at The New Dawn Inn Norton. Family flowers only. Donations to Myeloma U.K. Unfortunately our men lost […]
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 […]
Hello everybody, If you were in the club this morning, you will have seen me in a different role! My Mrs. Mop role! Mark is off ill so members of the Board are “mucking in” or “out” would be more to the point! If anyone else fancies a turn, you’d be more than welcome – […]
Hello everybody, Not a lot to say this week. However, the list is now up for the next quiz on 13th November. Make sure you get your name down to avoid disappointment. If you are just a team of two, there are a number of fours with whom you could join since six is the […]
Hello everybody, So thrilled to tell you that our membership numbers have now reached 300+ (not all playing members but the majority are) and there are still new people coming in asking about coaching and membership. This is such welcome news since many clubs have had to close due to the pandemic. If you see […]
Hello, We arrived back from Potters on Friday afternoon after a great time! Even the weather was kind to us apart from a couple of showers one day. Thursday was absolutely beautiful – sunny and warm but Howard and I didn’t see much of it since we were bowling in the last sixteen, followed by […]
