Clarice: Now Marina and Deb, why did the nurse object to take baby into papa’s studio?
Marina: Hmm.
Deb: Hmm, OK why did the nurse object Clarice?
Clarice: Because “them easels” (the measles) were about!

Green CLOSED Thursday 2nd July (all day) and Friday 3rd July (morning only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE – With no home game after Wednesday evening until Friday evening this week, the green will be CLOSED THURSDAY 2 JULY (all day) and FRIDAY 3 JULY (morning only) for some remedial work to be carried out before our next scheduled heatwave.
Work involves soaking the green, slitting and aerating, application of wetting agent and nutrients before further watering early next day. In view of recent weather and problems created we hope members will appreciate our efforts to sustain a reasonable playing surface and we apologise for any inconvenience. Thank you. Ian Wilson.
P.S. Congratulations to our valiant Ladies Pairs who took part in the Ladies League Pairs Competition on 1st July at Rhuddlan. The ‘A’ Team pair of Shan & Ann B, and the ‘B’ Team Pair of Bunty & Sue B, led in both games but were just pipped at the post losing with 20 & 19 respectively. Unlucky, but all players played exceptionally well. The eventual winners were Rhuddlan for the ‘A’ Division and Melidan for the ‘B’ Division.
