Clare: All right Tom, I’ll buy it. Why would a compliment from a chicken be an insult?

Tom: Because it would be fowl language!

League Updates

Ian has kindly provided updates on the two leagues that the Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club has joined for the first time in 2023 (Click Here).

More information to come shortly on the Senior Citizens League and the Saturday Coast League, where I know in advance there are likely to be some interesting points of discussion.

Remember This Place?

Click Here to catch up with a few photos of how our green looks now. Remember how the dry summer caused some bare patches? Well, thanks to Bobby and our team of volunteers, and the worms, now it is all lush, green grass again. The new cladding (courtesy MKM) looks smart too.

This is what it looks like after a large number of conifers have been felled and removed for their softwood (Tan-y-Bwlch, Gwynedd). Non-native species still account for around one-half of the woodland area in Wales. However, Woodland (all types of trees) area has increased in the UK and is now 13.3%.
