Beach Bowls

Even when you are on a beach holiday with your family, you can keep up your bowls practice by playing Beach Bowls. This is similar to French Boules but you use a beach pebble as the target and each player uses three other pebbles to throw towards the jack in order to be the nearest. As in the real game of boules and bowls, you will need someone to umpire to resolve disagreements!

HM Coastguard

The 15th January 2022 was the 200th Anniversary of the establishment of HM Coastguard to look after the shores around the UK, to search, rescue and save. Locally, they have a team in Llandudno. If you are a keen listener to the daily Shipping Forecast on the radio (and who isn’t?), you will also know that the Great Orme always gets a mention in the Inshore Waters and Wind Forecast.

It’s National Penguin Day

Not only is it National Penguin Day today, it is also National Coffee Break Day (don’t overdo it!).

The 18th January, however, was National Winnie the Pooh Day but we’ll have to wait almost another year to celebrate this day. Get your costumes ready.
