Here’s a working barge on its way up the Conwy Estuary with its legs in the air. They’ll get a bit wet though when they arrive at their working location.

Crystal Balls?
Although this looks like Bunty and Steve are Obsidian Black crystal ball gazing, preparing to give Sue a psychic reading, black Obsidian is technically not a true crystal. It is, however, a form of igneous rock that can be classified as natural glass. What is igneous rock? It forms when hot, molten rock crystallises and then solidifies. No wonder they are holding them like hot potatoes.
Bright As a Button
Amazing how a river can look like the brightest thing in the landscape on a dark day in the middle of winter. Here the River Conwy looks positively charged with electricity. No special effects needed.
Ahead of the Game
If any of you are wondering what Captain John B is up to when not on the bowling green this Autumn, then here is the answer – he is acting as a sophisticated standard lamp base for different types of lamp shades. Not a bad look at all.
Llandudno Firework Night
There were fireworks in Llandudno last night. If there is no photo with this post this morning, then your webmaster was too tired to upload any after getting home last night. Please be patient and watch out for photos being added here later (maybe after the bins have been emptied).
From One Side to the Other
No Room For It
The George Masters Competition was held at George Warley, Birmingham, on 1st October 2022, but the main news from the event was the bad behaviour of some of the spectators. On the receiving end of verbal abuse and physical threats on his way to finishing as Runner-Up the Final was Callum Wraight. He was one of the competitors who participated in the Conwy Bowls Festival 2022, playing here at Vardre Deganwy, and he won the BCGBA Senior Individual Merit Title 2022.
Calls have now been made by the Shropshire Executive for the British Crown Green Bowling Association (BCGBA) to seek ways to address this type of unacceptable behaviour.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is the focus of the Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) whose policy “Code of Conduct in Bowls” was adopted by Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club in 2022. It applies to everyone involved in the sport, i.e. staff, club officials, coaches, volunteers, players and spectators. What does R.E.S.P.E.C.T. stand for?
- Respect all participants and decisions
- Encourage everyone
- Sportsmanship
- Play for enjoyment
- Educate and be knowledgeable
- Conduct yourself courteously
- Treat everyone fairly
