Doubles Friendly on Thursday 23rd April

The first Doubles Friendly of the season will take place on Thursday versus Eirias Park @ Vardre Deganwy. Please turn up by 1:30pm for pair selection for start at 2:00pm. Do come along and participate in this enjoyable and relaxing way to compete against others without the pressure of playing in a league match. Pairs will be sorted as much as possible so that newer, less experienced players, are matched with a more experienced player.

Plus, a reminder that the closing date to enter the Hornby Cup and the Alpha Trophy Competitions is next Sunday 26th April. If you would like to enter, just add your name to the list on the noticeboard in the clubhouse.

League Cup Competition Matches on Monday 20th April

The Colwyn & Llandudno League Cup Competition Preliminary matches will be held on Monday night 20th April from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at bowling greens across North Wales. Our ‘A’ Team will play Penmaenmawr ‘A’ at Mochdre and our ‘B’ Team will play Min y Don ‘B’ at Penrhyn New Hall. So, not too far to travel for our players.

In addition, we will be hosting a Preliminary match at Vardre Deganwy: Abergele ‘A’ v Penmaenmawr ‘B’. Do pop along to watch any of the matches if you get the chance and support the players.

Bluebells Galore

We currently have a lovely view of bluebells from our green as we look up to the top of hill. Visit Wales has a great page letting you know where the best places are in Wales to see bluebells (Click Here). They are in bloom now so you’ll need to be quick.

Newsletter

Dave Holland has produced our latest newsletter. It highlights our fundraising need this year for an irrigation system for the green. So, please participate in our events to help boost this fund. Click Here to see Newsletter 74.

Dave P was the lucky raffle prize winner on the opening day of the season. £100.00 was raised towards the irrigation system. Keep your eye open for upcoming events.

Hosting Volunteers Needed Please

The Club will be hosting two Cup first round matches on 20th & 30th April and we are seeking volunteers to help on those dates. However, our own teams will be playing at other bowling greens so we need volunteers who are not in any of the teams. Only 4-people will be needed to host at each event. Two people to serve teas and the other two people to help on the green with measuring:-

  • 20th April: Colwyn & Llandudno League Cup 1st Round 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
  • 30th April: Clwyd League Cup 1st Round from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
  • Our Club might be asked to host a Cup Competition match on Friday 24th April from 1:30pm to 4:30pm for the Clwydian League and we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

If you are able to help, please add your name to the list on the noticeboard in the Clubhouse. Thank you.
