Through the Cup Quarter Final

The Club’s Clwydian League ‘A’ Team successfully won the Division ‘A’ Quarter Final match, versus Min y Don, held on 12th June at Mochdre Park. Despite Min y Don starting with +40-points on their team scorecard, our team won the match by 10-points after 10-games. Our team won this cup competition last year.

Captain Shan Eccles: “Thank you team, well done, and big thanks to Neal as our
Super-Sub”.

Clarice and Her Mini-Me

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.

A Few Updates

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).

Questions for you from Your Committee

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.
