MidGlos IBCHello,One and a bit weeks to go to freedom, maybe!!! Fingers crossed because I, for one, have had enough! The National Gardens last Sunday went very well despite the appalling weather. Thank you so much to the volunteers who helped on the day and to the people ( not only ladies ) who donated the […]
Hello everyone, First of all, many thanks to those of you who turned up to help with the clean-up at the club. In all, there were fifteen of us. I hope that you agree when you see it that there is a huge difference. The club outside now looks much more loved. With several pairs […]
Hello everyone, 14th June is almost here when we should know if the final restrictions are to be lifted. I suspect not all of them will be! I have already mentioned that, on Sunday, 4th July we are offering our car parks, providing refreshments and making our toilet facilities available for the visitors to the […]
Hello everyone, My goodness, it’s almost June. At least the weather is a little more as it should be at this time of year. Since I didn’t write a newsletter last week, I wasn’t able to mention the sad news of Cyril Leach. I didn’t know him when he was a playing member of the […]
Good morning, I haven’t lost the plot! I know I wrote the last newsletter only yesterday. However, the EIBA have now issued their guidance about returning to bowling in Step 3 of releasing us from lockdown.

Hello everyone, Really great news! Stage 3 releasing of the lockdown is going ahead on Monday 17th May as we had hoped. This means that we can return to bowling under the rule of six. The summer schedules are now on the website. Both the Friday morning and Friday evening umbrellas start again on 21st […]
Hello everyone, This is not a full newsletter but just to inform you of some more sad news. Alan Yates has died after a long illness. He had not been a member for a while because of ill health. However, I remember him from the Friday morning umbrella when he was usually the last to […]
Hello, It’s good to see so many of you taking advantage of the free bowling. Don’t get used to it – it won’t last for ever! Seriously, it’s lovely to see the club waking up again after its enforced hibernation. Unfortunately, it’s not tropical in the club since the heating isn’t yet on and we’re […]
Hello again, I bet you were laughing on Monday if you got up to the same sight as we did – a few centimetres of snow covering everywhere and still falling! You can imagine how all the pub and restaurant owners must have felt! However, as soon as the sun appeared, it started melting quite […]
Hello everyone, What a change in the weather! Fingers crossed that something considerably warmer is coming our way for Monday! Our table outside is booked for 1.00 p.m. No laughing if it’s freezing cold and wet – we’re going whatever! The virtual voting for the AGM is going well but there is still time if […]
