LOCAL NEWS:
It’s a Case of Mower Gets More
Many of you have probably never heard of Joe Morgan. You may have seen a plaque on one of our benches or heard that some of his ashes were spread on our newly created Memorial Garden after he sadly passed away last year.
Joe was an excellent bowls player and was well known by many bowlers far-and-wide because of it. He left our club on health grounds some years ago and our long-standing members will have stories to tell about him, some good and maybe some not so good as Joe did not suffer fools lightly. However, now, because of our new relationship with his family, they have helped us recently and saved us a considerable amount of money.
We heard at the last Committee Meeting that the roof of the shed that houses the mowers was leaking badly and needed repairs. Because Joe’s daughter Tracy had offered help with building materials if they were needed, a phone call to her resulted in immediate action. How lucky are we that Tracy’s husband Konrad is Manager at MKM Building Supplies, Llandudno Junction (formerly Richard Williams). Within a few days Konrad came around and, on behalf of his company, has donated all the galvanised roof panels and fixings we need to complete the whole roof. Everything will be delivered shortly. To finish off our good fortune, MKM wants to put up an advertisement banner at the green next season.
A great result. Massive thanks to the Morgan family and to MKM Building Supplies.

FINAL FRIENDLY OF THE SEASON 14TH OCTOBER 2021
FUN & FRIENDLIES 2021
REPORT BY DAVE P
After a late start to the season most of the clubs I contacted, with the exception of Penrhyn New Hall, Allanson Road and Old Colwyn, were not prepared to open their Greens to visitors because of Covid. Almost every game we played, home or away, was well attended with upwards of 20 wishing to take part. We are fortunate to have so many new members who are competitive and keen to learn, most having joined after taking part in the Monday morning ‘U3A introduction to bowling’ sessions and will, I am sure, be playing in next season’s league games.
On Thursday 30th September, with 28 members wanting to play we reinstated the ‘Ladies v Gentlemen’ Competition, last played officially in 2016. After some exciting and noisy games the gentlemen were 4 games to 3 winners and their team captain Roger S was presented with the Challenge Shield which will be engraved and put on display in the clubhouse. Watch out gentlemen, next year the ladies have sworn to take revenge!
Most of our members just turn up and play, and that’s fine, but remember the club does not run itself and your help is necessary. From putting out seat cushions, opening and closing the shutters, helping in the kitchen, keeping the clubhouse clean and tidy, etc. Keen gardeners could help Tommy maintain the wonderful displays he works so hard to create.
Despite everything the Friendlies and Fun Day Thursdays have been very successful, enjoyable and overall better attended than in previous years. As of today, 6th October, we have two more fun days before winter closure. On the 7th we will repeat the popular Teams of Four Competition with a prize for the top ladies and gents winners. The format for the final Thursday will be advised shortly.
Finally, we should thank Bob Mason for providing delicious home made refreshments and organising the kitchen, and I would also like to give my thanks to Dave Holland for his invaluable help in running the members’ only competitions and for organising this year’s Christmas lunch to be held at Conwy Golf Club on Tuesday 14th December.
