Trailer Needed Please

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.

State of Caring

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.

Colwyn Bowls Festival 2026 Nears the Finals Day

Vince Toms and David Leech

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. 👏

🫵Important News Items for Members🫵

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 Memorial Garden

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.

Good News From our Chairperson

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.

Marina Roberts, Chairperson
