MidGlos IBCHappy New Year! Let’s hope it’s a good one for all of us. I hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve. Mine was spent in much the same way as Christmas – suffering from some sort of quite nasty virus (not Covid). At least I stayed awake! On my twenty-first (not that long […]
Hello everyone for the last time in 2022! Hope you had a good Christmas. We had a lovely time spent with our younger daughter and family and now we have our older daughter and family with us. We had a great time at Potters. We’ll have to wait until another time to get to the […]
Greetings, It’s my birthday (forty and a bit bigger bit than last year) and we’re off to Potters to play in Champion of Champions. We’ve never quite reached the final but we’ll give it another go! What a week we’ve had! We had quite a dollop of snow which is still largely here in Chedworth. […]
Hello from a very snowy Chedworth! I know we’re not the only ones to have had the white stuff. However, being so high up, we’ve had more than our fair share and, for the moment, can’t get out of our village. Whichever way we turn out of our drive, there is a hill to negotiate. […]
Hello again, Christmas is fast approaching and my diary is crazy (mainly with bowling)! I don’t know how I’ll fit in all the jobs I need to do but somehow I’m sure I’ll squeeze it all in. Don’t forget to sign up if you’re coming to the Christmas Friday evening umbrella on December 16th. Not […]
Hello again, Let’s start with the sad news. Sadly, our oldest member of the club, Ken Spink, died last week. He was such a lovely man. I inherited John Tolmie’s team (Jet Set), which became “The Easers” before Covid struck. Ken had been a member of that team for a number of years. Howard and […]
Hello again, Well, the BBC were at the club filming and interviewing for about three hours on Thursday. After the editing, we came out with about two minutes, at most, exposure on the 6.00p.m. and (for some) the 10.00pm News. Our chairman is available for autographs provided you make an appointment! I think he did […]
Hello everyone, We have a potentially very exciting week ahead of us! The BBC coming to the club all rests on an executive giving his final approval to Gloucester as the focus. Apparently, it can all change at the last minute! However, at the moment it is Gloucester so we have to be prepared. Fingers […]
Hello all, Thank goodness! I have no deaths or funerals to announce. Let’s hope it stays that way for a long time. I have been asked to inform everyone that, if a team finds itself short of a player on the day, not to ask someone on reception to fill in. This has happened in […]
Hello again, I hate being the purveyor of bad news but sadly, I have to report that Bill Notman died in his sleep on Saturday night. He hadn’t been well enough to play this season but I really thought he’d recover and be back. He was an excellent lead with a lovely dry sense of […]
