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.
Does anyone have a vehicle and trailer, or know of anyone to assist us, just to take a mower for repair to Penmaenmawr (and eventually return)? We will fit in around the availability of anyone who can help us. Please reply by sending us a message or contact Ian or Dave L directly. Many thanks.
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.
Today (Sunday 2nd August) was the first day of qualifying for the final rounds of the Clwyd League Pairs Competition. It took place at Min y Don with 18-pairs participating. The second day takes place next Sunday 9th August, also at Min y Don, starting at 10:00am. Our team Captain Sue Kirkham and Colin Burgess will be playing so do go along and give them your support if you find the time.
Here are just two of our gallant competitors who entered competitions in this year’s Colwyn Bowls Festival 2026. As well as David Leech and Vince Toms above, other entrants were Mark Ball, Miriam Forder, Shan Eccles, Nigel Day, Sue Kirkham and Ann Banks. It’s a great way to pass the week, playing bowlers from all over the UK. Our Club decided against inclusion in the greens used this year due to the very dry season so far.
Thank you to the Club Members who were at the green on Tuesday this week to clean the clubhouse and undertake all the gardening needed to spruce up the premises. A few more people would have eased the burden on the members who did help so, perhaps next time we can encourage a few more people out to help. Is a cup of tea and a biscuit not incentive enough?
The Club is also grateful that members respected our volunteer greenkeepers’ request to let them undertake remedial works and rest the green for a few days this week. Please mind the patches under repair when you get back to practising and socialising. 👏
The green will be closed for essential and urgent maintenance for 3-days on: Sunday 26th July; Tuesday 28th July; and, Wednesday 29th July.
On Tuesday 28th July between 10am and 2pm, there is a club maintenance group get-together at the club for all aspects of gardening and a mid-season spruce-up of the clubhouse. All club members are invited to participate and so contribute to the essential aspects needed to run the club so that we have a healthy and welcoming environment for all visitors as well as members.
🫵Your Club needs You🫵 . Please come along to help and to have fun with fellow club mates. You don’t even have to attend for the whole session. Alternatively, your help around the grounds can be undertaken anytime during the 3-days of closure (and at all other times too!). Bring a packed lunch and make a day of it.
Anytime that you can give will be very, very welcome. Thank you and see you there.
The Club has placed a plaque in the “Memorial Garden” for Roger Dickinson, a former Club Member and President, who passed away recently. A number of Club Members, wearing club kit, attended his Remembrance Service In June.
John P: Why did the Connect 4 Board get promoted at work?
Gay: I know, because it was great at lining-up success!
On 12th August there will be a solar eclipse. The moon will pass between the Earth and the Moon covering around 90% of the sun, visible across the UK.
I have great pleasure in informing all Club Members that our bid for funding from the Gwynt y Môr Grant Fund has been successful. This grant, together with our own fundraising, pledges and donations, means that we will have the funds necessary for the installation of an Irrigation System at our green during the coming Winter, hopefully in January. Firstly, however, our Planning Application must meet with Conwy Council’s approval, and we hope for an outcome on this before the end of August 2026.
Congratulations to all involved and THANK YOU to all Members for your support of the proposal which will ensure good care of our green for us and for future generations.
