MidGlos IBCHello again, First of all – ladies, our annual meeting is this Tuesday, 14th March at 12.45 in The Cooper Suite. If you read the notice boards, you will know that this is not short notice but it came as a surprise to some members on Saturday when we were talking about it. We’re all […]
Hello everyone, We’re back! We had a great time. This time we had some newbies to Potters. They loved it and are coming again. As far as the bowling goes, we didn’t do quite as well as usual. Chris and Mike Prosser and Jackie and Paul Phelpstead got through to the quarters but were knocked […]
Greetings, When this arrives in your inbox, we’ll be well on our way to Potters to play in the EBF midweek tournament. The first thing I have to mention is an amendment to the information about the monthly draw for the 200 Club. It will be on the third Friday of the month, i.e. the […]
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. To that end, Steve Bluck has asked that last year’s summer captains confirm their teams for this coming season. New teams are always very welcome. If you’d like to […]
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 […]

Hello, That’s January almost gone! At least it’s a little warmer for now. I was rather hoping that our spate of members dying had come to an end but I have to report that Irene Barrett, wife of Steve Barrett has sadly died. She had to stop playing due to ill health a few years […]
Hello again, Wow! Did you see the final of World Bowls? What a game! It really was a true final and between two “qualifiers”. It’s good to see some new names and faces coming through. Talking of faces and World Bowls, did you see Margaret and Campbell McColl on Saturday in the crowd? I now […]
Hello everyone, There’s lots to announce this week but I’ll start with the sad news which you will already know if you’ve been into the club this week. I now have a photo of Joy Bloor whose death I announced last week. Sadly two more long-standing members have died this week – John Punshon and […]

On Saturday our men were playing away (with the ladies’ permission!) at a neutral green and beat Bounds Green in the Denny Plate and progress to the National Quarter Finals on Saturday 28 January. Well done to all who […]
