Do They Really Know What They’re Doing?
Although the initial evidence might lead you to believe that our boys haven’t quite got the hang of proper green maintenance, Click Here for some more photos that show clearly that they really do know what they’re doing!
Great to See Our Friends Back
Margaret and Roger D quietly arrived at the green on Thursday to watch and support the players in the Finals of the Alpha Trophy and the Hornby Cup. Both are past Presidents’ and also first-class players, having had many wins for the team year-on-year. They have done a great deal for the Club and it was good to see them both here last week.
Captain Iantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboys
The Club had a new delivery of top dressing on Friday. Can you help? Click Here to see photographs from the day but Click Here read Ian’s report and request for a bit of help early next week.
Rain versus Bowlers
Clwydian League qualifying events were held around North Wales yesterday but rain turned all the events into a bigger challenge than expected.
Halfway through the day at Mochdre, time was called on the event as puddles had formed all over the green. Remaining games to be played today.
At Old Colwyn, the players continued on through the torrential downpours testing everyone’s resolve and their waterproof clothing. Click Here for a couple more photos. Our ‘C’ Team reps, John P and Keith, played at Meliden and were equally soaked through. Well done everyone.
Neat Enough
The end of season lunch was very well attended. Click Here for a few photos from the event. Always useful if the memory has lapsed for any reason.
Closing Fours
It was a nail-biting afternoon as doubles teams competed throughout the afternoon. The four finalists – Maureen, Sean, Brian and Tom C – played a shorter, time-limited game before the wet weather arrived from the mountains. Tom C and Brian were the eventual Champions and received the trophy that was inscribed with Brian’s name as a member of the last doubles pairing to win it. “It’s Coming Home”, was the cry from the stands.
A Day Off!
Only food and drink could persuade members to take a day off from bowling. It was a good lunch yesterday and Dave H gave a well-deserved vote of thanks to Sylvia, on behalf of everyone present, as she had organised the lunch at the golf club.
There will be a few photos to follow in a day or two so keep checking back for a new post on this page with a link.
P.S. “Closing Fours Competition” is this afternoon so be there before 1:30pm to enter.
3-Leagues = 9-Miles
The 2022 Season of the Clwydian League, the third of the leagues in which our Club participates, ended yesterday. Our ‘A’ Team finished a creditable 6th, in the top half of the ‘A’ Division; our ‘B’ Team finished a magnificent 3rd in the ‘C’ Division, just missing out on a promotion place by 8-points and a 0.4 average; and our ‘C’ Team ended its season last week by 8-points and 42-points above the next 2-teams below them.
Whether you played in a team or bowled socially or were just learning the game or a spectator, we can all celebrate the season end in style at lunch today. Our well-oiled machine of volunteers, i.e. the Committee, the Greenkeeping and Maintenance Team and the Team Captains & Vice Captains, ensured that everything ran smoothly all year long and we are all very grateful to every one of them.
