Can You Fill That Space?

The clubhouse needs a weekly clean and it is tradition at our club that 2-members team up to take just one session per season. It takes about 2-hours so that the place will be clean for members and visitors alike. This means that the club ensures that it has a clean once a week. With 2-people working together, the time flies by and then that’s your slot done and dusted (sorry) for this year. The club keeps its costs as low as possible with thanks to all members who volunteer to help with all the extra bits of work that are needed to keep the club going.

So, out of the 2,184 hours per season available to members to bowl on the green, a 2-hour session seems a not-too-demanding-return. There is a list on the noticeboard in the clubhouse so please add your name in the week when you would be able to do a stint of cleaning the clubhouse. Thank you all very much for helping to share this additional, but vital, need.

Carol, Doreen, Marina & Shan got the clubhouse ready for the opening day of the 2026 season

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.

Bluebells Galore
