MidGlos IBCHi again, I’m feeling quite pleased with myself since I’ve just spent a few hours in the back garden tidying up, doing what I should have done at the end of last season but the endless rain made it impossible. The sad thing is that most of our garden lies at the front of our […]
Hello everyone, I can’t believe that a twelfth of the year has almost gone! But at least the days are lengthening. Our summer outdoor bowlers are already talking about the coming outdoor season. It’s really sad for those of us who choose to play indoors all the year round to have to say “au revoir” […]
Hello everyone, Well, the snow didn’t come which was just as well since we had no volunteers to clear it had it arrived. Please, don’t leave everything to the few stalwarts who always come forward. The possibility of snow is not over for several weeks yet. I have realised that there’s definitely something to be […]
Hello, Have we got something to shout about!! Our young players, Dylan and Fin Williamson have won gold playing for England in the pairs against Wales in the U18s on Saturday! In the whole competition, England came second to Scotland overall. England took two golds – Dylan and Fin in the pairs and three other […]
Happy New Year! It doesn’t seem a whole year since I last wrote that. Hope you all had a good Christmas. We had a lovely time and Father Christmas brought some great presents. Once again, I won’t be stuck for anything to watch on television since World Bowls 2024 started on Friday. It is being […]
Hello everyone, Not many sleeps now before that friendly old man drops down the chimney. I always hated the idea of him getting burned in the hot chimney so we had to leave the door ajar for him. Fortunately the less trustworthy folks never cottoned onto it. The teams for the England under 18 squad […]
Hello, I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas again! This year has flown by. Even people of a younger age than the majority of the club are saying the same thing. Our younger members and the future of our club are doing extremely well. Fin was invited to trial for the under 25s England team. He […]
Hello again, I’ve just returned from a week-end away in Guildford with my daughter and granddaughters. She is an artist and was exhibiting at a Christmas Fayre at Silent Pool Gin Distillery. Since her husband is away in Valencia this week, I was looking after the girls. The alternative was to take them with her. […]
Hello, Well it really has felt like we’ve skipped autumn and gone straight into winter this week-end. Before I go onto the news, can I remind you that your bowling shoes should not be worn outside. It was reported by John Boulton that mud was hoovered off rinks 3&4 during the cleaning of the carpet […]
Hello again, I think you all know that I write this on Sunday so, at the moment, I’m thinking of our young under18s who are in Northampton playing in England trials. When I hear how they’ve done, I’ll post it here. For some considerable time, there has been great confusion over National rink fees. The […]
