Wise Monkeys?

Islwyn returns to the green to take part in the Best Baseball Cap Competition, competing with Dave P and Bob. After judging, there was no outright winner so all three got a prize, i.e. they were allowed to stand at the top of the steps for a few minutes and then all three burst into a rendition of Joe Cocker’s song “You Can Leave Your Hat On”. Great stuff guys.

Friendly Thursday and a Saturday Spar

Two events coming up over the long Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend:

  • Thursday 2nd June: Dave Holland says, “Just to let you know that there will be a club competition Friendly game this coming Thursday.  We know it’s the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations but she specifically asked that we organise something as it was her who put the Crown in Crown Green Bowling. So please turn up no later than 1:30pm so we can organise the teams. £1 will get you a great afternoon of fun, tea, biscuits and the possibility of a royal visit.
  • Saturday 4th June: Ian Wilson says, “Both A and B teams have byes next Saturday (June 4th) and so both squads will take part in an event commencing at 1:30pm at the Vardre green”.

A Riddle

Question: Why is “I” the luckiest of all the vowels?

Answer: Because it is the centre of bliss, while “E” is in hell and all the others are in purgatory.

VIP

There is a very important person who is a vital part of the U3A coaching team on Monday mornings but is very camera shy. She arrives quietly, organises the kitchen, ensures everyone gets a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits halfway through the session, clears up after the break and then quietly disappears into the day whilst everyone is back out on the green for the second part of the session. Thank you Kate for all your help and support. We couldn’t do it without you.
