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.

23rd June in History

  • On the 23rd June 1940, France surrendered to Nazi Germany.
  • In 2012 on this date, the Higgs boson particle was discovered. If you’re a physicist you will know all about this but, if you aren’t a physicist and want to know more, then Click Here to visit the CERN website. CERN stands for the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The acronym CERN originally represented the French words “Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire” (European Council for Nuclear Research), which was a provisional council established by 12 European governments in 1952 to build the laboratory. In 1954, the provisional council was dissolved, and the organization was officially established as the Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Organization for Nuclear Research). Despite the name change, the acronym CERN was retained.

Ladies Doubles

Please be aware that next Wednesday, 24th June, there will be a Ladies Doubles Qualification. The first at 1:00pm and the other at 2:00pm.

P.S. A photo of the Ladies ‘B’ Team has been postponed to a future date TBA.

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”.
