Whit Sunday is held 50-days after Easter and in the Christian Church is a festival known as Pentecost. It is a time for Christians to remember the gift of the Holy Spirit. However, schools tend to arrange their half-term breaks at Whitsun with 5-days holiday from studying including a Bank Holiday on Monday.

Vacuum Filled
The vacuum for sale in Deganwy has been purchased with a £50 donation to the Club’s irrigation system fundraising. Thank you all for spreading the word.
There’s a Vacuum in Deganwy!
Our dear friend and bowling colleague Clarice has a virtually unused Henry vacuum cleaner available to buy. She will donate the total sale price to the Club’s Irrigation system fundraising. The Henry is red in colour and has all the original attachments including 10-bags. Just one attempt at using it so, although it is only 1.5 years old, it is in pristine condition just waiting for another kindly owner for only £50 ono.

Two Things You Need to Know
Firstly, Dave Holland says that the Friendly match originally arranged for Thursday 21st May against Min y Don will now be held on FRIDAY 29TH MAY at Vardre Deganwy. This is at the request of the Min y Don bowling club as they have commitments on the two Thursday’s prior. Apologies for the inconvenience but hopefully you will be able to take part on the 29th.
Secondly, Bob Mason has some good news for those of you with green fingers. He has some Tumbling Toms plants (yellow cherry tomatoes) available at just 50p each or 6-for-£2.50. All sales will go towards the club’s fundraising. He has 80 plants left so, if you’re interested, please ring him on 01492 582693 and place your order.
Irrigation Project Fundraising Target
A bid has been submitted for the largest portion of our fundraising target to install an automatic Irrigation System around the green. The outcome of the bid should be known by July 2026. However, the Club still has to fundraise towards the total cost of £25.5k. The Committee can now confirm that if the bid is successful, together with volunteers hours for some of the work needed plus donation pledges, the Club still needs to raise £1,000.00.
As you know, the fundraising started in March so the Club has already raised £173.00 towards the £1,000.00 needed. The Social Committee is busy organising events for the season ahead which we hope all members, and friends/family will support. Culminating in a big event in late September 2026. The entry fees for participating in Thursday Friendlies are also contributing so please keep attending those fun, doubles events.

Thursday Friendlies
The next pairs Friendly is on Thursday 7th May at Rhos-on-Sea Bowling Club, Allanson Road. Members who want to play should arrive by 1:30pm. Sylvia will be there to sort out the game.
Getting to the Point
U3A Bowlers
The Club’s coaching session for members of the U3A commenced last Monday and will continue every Monday, from 10:00am to 12 noon, until September 2026. The group is fully subscribed so, because the U3A had more of their own members interested than places available at Vardre Deganwy, the U3A is talking to other Club’s about running coaching sessions to meet demand from their members.
