Maintenance Morning Monday

Don’t forget that Monday morning is almost upon us. The maintenance group hope to be there from 9:30am onwards. So, if you can and would like to come along and help out, then please do. The more volunteers the better. Also, if you want some logs for your log burner, there are branches just waiting for you behind the rear of the clubhouse. Thank you.

Log Time – Come and Get It

If you would like some logs from the Club for your log burner then now is the time to come along and collect what you want. They are branch length so you might want to bring a saw with you to turn them into nice sized pieces to fit in the boot of your car. You’ll find them in a pile behind the clubhouse so please come along and help yourself.

Wood currently looks something like this
This is how it will look like after you do your stuff

Hip Hop

Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to need a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week. The second patient sees his family doctor after waiting 3-weeks for a face-to-face appointment, then waits 8-weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray which isn’t reviewed for another week and finally has surgery scheduled for 18-months from then.

Why is the treatment different for each patient?

The first patient is a golden retriever and the second is a senior citizen.

Times Change

Back in the 1970’s this was the understanding of some words:-

  • ‘Memory’ was something associated with your own brain;
  • ‘An Application’ was for employment;
  • ‘A Programme’ was a TV show;
  • ‘A Keyboard’ was on a piano;
  • ‘A Web’ was a spider’s home;
  • ‘A Hard Drive’ was a long trip in a car;
  • ‘A Mouse Pad’ was where a mouse lived.

Give an Inch

David L: Sylvia, I was in a job interview today when the manager handed me his laptop and said “I want you to sell this to me.” So I put it under my arm, walked out of the building and went home. Eventually, he called my mobile and said, “Bring it back right now!”

Sylvia: So what did you say to him?

David L: I said, “£200.00 and it’s yours”.

It’s the Three M’s Day

Yes, new for 2026, Maintenance Morning Monday. Volunteers, to help with all the maintenance bits and pieces around the green, are invited to attend from 9:30am onwards every Monday. You probably can’t make every Monday but as many as possible will help get things in tip-top condition before the start of the season in March. See you there and thank you.

Please note: bringing sheep to mow the green will not be permitted

Weekly Date

Yesterday’s first maintenance day of the new year went well. So, it has been decided to hold this volunteer get-together at 10am every Monday morning from now onwards. If you can’t help out every Monday, then please do come along to help on the Monday’s that you can. Thank you.

Also, please remember to pay this year’s subscription which is due in January each year. £65.00 per person or £70.00 if you will be playing in any league games. Thank you.

Maintain Our Green

Monday 12th January at 9:30, or maybe 10am, come along to the green and take part in helping to keep the grounds looking tidy and well cared for. Just an hour or two’s commitment from as many people as possible will be of enormous help to support our more regular volunteers. Thank you in advance for playing your part in helping to maintain the green and its surrounds. See you there.

P.S. Don’t forget that annual subscriptions are now due. £65 per person or £70 per person if you will be playing in any of the bowling leagues. Thank you.
