Our Own Slave Tirade

Whilst most Club Members are dreaming of next season, our very own green volunteers have been sweating it out on the green. They were not playing bowls but were moving the sacks of top dressing around the edge of the green. Now it’s all there, it’s just waiting for Bobby, our visiting professional greenkeeper. ThanksContinue reading “Our Own Slave Tirade”

Calling All Members

Ian has supplied an interesting report on the work planned for the Green. Just Click Here to read it but, before you do that, he and David really need a couple more people to help them tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday. So, if you have some spare time and could help move supplies and equipment roundContinue reading “Calling All Members”

Walk the Plank

So you think that our maintenance volunteers are working hard up at the green? Well, you’d be quite right but perhaps you would not realise how they keep motivated. Here’s a little clue:

Baldachin?

What has Tommy been up to? He’s preparing for a new addition to our bowling club. Perhaps not exactly a baldachin (a particular type of canopy), but we should soon have an awning so that both the Home team and the Away team have some better protection from the rain or the sunshine. How isContinue reading “Baldachin?”

Two-Up Dates

Green Closed This Morning

Vital work is to be undertaken on the green this morning. Our maintenance team of 3-hard-working-boys would really value additional voluntary help. If you can help, please be at the green by 9:00am today. Click Here to read Ian’s explanation of the work needed.

So, on Wednesday, the green maintenance team is asking for volunteers to help with crucial work on the green.

GREEN CLOSED TODAY (TUESDAY) UNTIL MIDDAY

Sorry everyone but an essential verticut is needed this morning whilst weather allows but it should be open again by midday today.

Hey Ho, Hey Ho, It’s Off to Work We Go

No, not a re-run of Snow White with her friends the Seven Dwarfs heading out to work in the mines for the day, but it was the Vardre Deganwy Club’s seasonal equivalent. The Maintenance Team is grateful to all the members who swelled the team’s ranks for an occasional event yesterday – to tidy theContinue reading “Hey Ho, Hey Ho, It’s Off to Work We Go”
