MidGlos IBCHello everyone, I usually write the newsletter on Sunday evening so that it will be ready for Monday morning.

Hello everyone, Another week has flown by and we’re heading to that sad time of year when we have to say goodbye to our outdoor bowlers.

Hello everyone, I’ll start with the sad news. I have to report another death. Jim Clifford died on 4th February. He was a lovely, gentle man who had been ill for quite a time. His wife died a couple of years ago. He missed her dreadfully. Initially he used to come to the club just […]
