Good luck to the Vardre Deganwy ‘B’ Team, in the Colwyn and Llandudno Division ‘C’ Competition Final tonight, to be played against Min Y Don at Rhos Park. We’ll be there to provide support. Have a great game and remember, “When you love the game, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose”.
The final of this Cup Competition, hosted by the Oval bowling club, Llandudno, was held on the Rhos Park bowling club’s green on Sunday due to surface issues at the Oval.
The winner was John Short, from Bangor City/Llanfairfechan bowling clubs, who defeated a strong opponent from Wrexham. John also won it in 2021.

Club Secretary Dave H has circulated a survey to all members asking for you to consider and to make comments on the points covered. This will help the Committee to plan club activities for next season. There are a lot of questions and no doubt will take some time to collate all the responses so please get back to Ian W (who is collating the responses) as soon as you can. Many thanks all.
Hats off to Tommy and any other green-fingered contributors. Have all the members noticed how the splendid flower arrangements around the green also incorporate the long tapes for the bowls matches, and in such a perfectly subtle way? Great style indeed.
Please note this competition has been postponed from today to next Friday 19th August 2022. See you there.
Some of us will remember this children’s TV programme. But who (or what) was Rag? Well, Rag was a Hedgehog. Hedgehogs are very important for your garden as they are nature’s pest controllers. They feast on many of the garden creatures we fight so hard to keep out of our gardens. They include worms, snails, slugs and insects. Here’s a photo of my night-time visitor who, coincidentally, also goes by the name of Rag. Take care as they may be sheltering in leaves and twigs in your garden.
Just to let you all know that the Friendly game this Thursday, 11th August, will be played at Allanson Road, Rhos on Sea. If you are coming along please arrive no later than 1.30pm. Thanks. Dave H
Click Here to read Ian’s report on the ‘A’ Team’s home match on Saturday. And here too are a few pearls of wisdom for good measure:
Ian models a bowls scoreboard. Where’s ours? Remember the very first “Rules of the Game” on our website last September? Here’s a reminder of that Rule 3.4: The result of the end shall be clearly indicated, by the winner, to the two markers, except at competitions at which an official marker for each game has been appointed, and official scoreboards are in use. Where there are two markers they must sit together and agree each other’s score cards every third end and at the end of the game. Where the score cannot be agreed, by the markers or players, it shall revert to the end where both score cards show the score to be in agreement.
