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.
Neat Enough
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.
News Just in From the Committee
The Committee met last Friday, and the latest Newsletter has now appeared hot off the press (Click Here to read a copy).
Remember the Closing Fours Comp is now on Thursday afternoon at 1:30pm.
Our Very Own Sir Veigh
Well, so many interesting thoughts from Club Members in the recent survey. What a great way of keeping our Committee Members tied up in knots for some time to come. Well played everyone.
“It’s Your Neighbourhood” 2022
Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club has achieved the Classification of “Outstanding” for the 2022 display. Click Here for a bit more. The Assessor wrote:
“Many thanks to Dave and Tommy for a warm welcome and a comprehensive tour. On entering the club curtilage, one gets the feeling of a well maintained and cared for facility. The green is immaculate, the colourful baskets are good and plentiful, and the building and infrastructure well maintained. The efforts at sustainability are very reassuring showing the club embraces environmental responsibility. There seems to be excellent community participation. I particularly liked the association with U3A and your plans to restart school participation.”

Cup Finals
The Finals of the two Vardre Deganwy Cup Competitions were held yesterday. Members of the club had battled with each other throughout the summer to reach the finals. Many club members turned up to spectate and help to organise, mark and shout encouragement. Sean played against Gwyneth, and Ian played against Diane. Congratulations to the Winners Ian and Sean and consolation to the Runners-Up. No weapons other than bowling skills were used during the matches.
Pulley System
Another tip for bowlers: If you don’t want to get caught out on the green, make sure you remember your belt for your shorts or trousers. Here John P demonstrates the point.
