Club Member Clarice has recently turned 90 and has been out and about celebrating in style. This included participating in the Odd Couple Doubles event on Sunday. Debs Rasmussen gave Clarice a knitted version of herself in a Club shirt. A true double.
We still need two more Club Members to help host a Clwydian League Cup Competition Quarter Final match to be held at Vardre Deganwy. So, if you are able to help between 1:30pm and 5:00pm then please contact Ian Wilson via the Club’s WhatsApp Group. Thank you.
Photographs from last Sunday’s fun event can now be found on the website. Just Click Here to see them.
The re-arranged Clwydian League ‘A’ Team’s match originally arranged for Tuesday 9th June will now be held on Monday 8th June at Vardre, starting as usual at 2:15pm. This also means that, together with the fact that the ‘D’ Team has a Bye on that morning, the green will be available for club members social play at any time on Tuesday 9th June.
Mark Ball had a good win playing for Wales versus Yorkshire in the Wales Home leg held at Benllech on Sunday 8th June. Well done Mark. The ‘Home’ Wales team just lost the aggregate by 19-points and the ‘Away’ Wales team (playing in Yorkshire at the same time) lost the agg by 70-points. “Yorkshire is an extremely strong side”, Mark.
A message from Ian: 16 members each paid £2 on Sunday 8th June to enter the fun event ‘Odd Couple Doubles’. After initial problems with a change in format, and a “faulty” football card, all players had over 90-minutes bowling in 3-rounds of 8-ends each. They also undertook their own marking and measuring and, with their kind generosity, a total of £106 was donated to the Irrigation Fund because all winners pledged their amount back to the Club. Thanks to all and especially to Sylvia for yet another of her delicious cakes. (Photos of the event will appear on the website later this week).

Question 1: Does any Member of the Club have expertise in producing technical drawings? As part of our planning application for an Irrigation system, the local council requires a scaled elevation drawing of the proposed water tank and the water pipe run from the tank around the green. Or, if you can recommend someone to us, then please contact Elaine, the Club Secretary, with the information. Thank you.
Question 2: Would anyone like a stall at our fundraising day on 5th July? This is what our Social Committee has planned for your delectation on that day, and other stalls and ideas will be very welcome: Shan’s Paintings stall; Books & Jigsaw stall: a Tombola stall; a Raffle stall; a ‘Name the Toy’ stall; plus a variety of games on the green. It promises to be a fun-filled event so please put it in your diary now. If you would like a stall, please contact Elaine initially. Thank you.
Question 3: Are you interested in attending a session at the Club on Defibrillator Awareness and some basic First Aid? If so, please contact Elaine the Club Secretary as soon as possible. Thank you.
The garden maintenance group will reconvene on Monday 1st June between 10am and 12 noon and there will be plenty of room and work for volunteers. You can also get to know some of our new U3A regulars who have coaching at the same time. If lots of people do a little bit each then it won’t end up with one person having to do the majority of it. Bring any tools with you that you’d like to use for weeding and a bag to ferry your spoils to the garden waste bin. Hopefully, members will be able to help out at the same time each week/fortnight/month throughout the season. Thank you.
The Friendly Doubles afternoon this week will be held on Friday afternoon 29th May versus Min y Don at Vardre Deganwy. 1:30pm start as usual. If you’d like to play then please arrive before 1:30pm to register. Thank you.
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.
