🏆🏆Today We Became Champions of the Ladies League ‘A’ Division 2026🏆🏆

Congratulations to our Ladies ‘A’ Team for winning the ‘A’ Division title 2026 today. It was a nail-biting wait for all the results to be posted online, with 3-teams vying for 1st place. Thanks to a first class result on our home green, and results elsewhere also going our way, the team won the league by just a single point.

Congratulations too to our Ladies ‘B’ Team for their first season, joining the league in the ‘B’ Division earlier this year. Good experience for everyone involved. Also, the team photo of this team has now been added to the other team photos in the clubhouse.

Just a Single Point!

Today’s Clwydian ‘A’ Division Cup Final between Vardre Deganwy ‘A’ Team and Denbigh ‘A’ was a very closely fought match. At the end of the final game, Denbigh ‘A’ secured the Cup win by just a single-point. Short of it resulting in a draw, the result could not have been closer. Our congratulations to the Denbigh team members.

Well played everyone and thanks to Captain Shan Eccles for all her hard work throughout the season. And many, many thanks to all the Vardre Deganwy Club Members who turned up to support and encourage the team. We are also very grateful to the hosts – Old Colwyn Bowling Club Members – for providing a happy, relaxed atmosphere with much needed refreshments, measuring and humour.

Defib and CPR Ready

In July a number of Club Members took part in a defibrillator and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training. CPR is a life-saving technique used when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped, using chest compressions and to maintain blood flow and oxygenation until medical help arrives. Click Here for a few photos of the event.

State of Caring

Carers UK is undertaking a survey of those of us who are caring for one of our relatives, or friends, at home. Or maybe you are a neighbour helping someone each day. Carers UK want to understand more from you so that they can develop services and support to help you, and other carers, in your caring role at home. Click Here to take the survey which needs to be completed before 11:59pm on Sunday 9th August 2026.

If you have a neighbour or friend in a caring role, then please direct them to the Carers Uk Website where they can also take part in the survey.
