Waterloo

No, not the famous Abba song, but the internationally renowned Waterloo bowling club location in Blackpool will no longer be hosting events. You may have seen their televised competitions. The club’s Committee and the ground owners could not agree a new lease, especially as a lot of expenditure was needed on the stadium. The “Waterloo” events will now be held at Fleetwood Bowling Club.

Why Travel Far?

The stunning North Wales coastline includes the following view around Morfa Nefyn on the Llŷn Peninsula. Why not give the thought of flying abroad a miss and instead explore the beautiful places on our doorstep.

Remember too that near Morfa Nefyn is the “3rd Best Beach Bar in the World”, i.e. the Ty Coch Inn (below) at Porthdinllaen, as judged in 2013 by travel website Cheapflights.co.uk.

Welcome to 2022

Not quite all the 2’s yet – only another 200 years and it will be 2222. What will Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club look like then? Will the Club have a new mower by then? Of course it will, especially if we keep up the great fundraising and volunteering. Enjoy the New Year ahead and roll on the start of the season. Here’s a little reminder of what we’re missing:-

So That Was 2021!

Recent Covid restrictions mean that New Year Celebrations at midnight are likely to be tamer than usual. Farewell, then, to 2021, a year full of vaccinations but, compared to 2020, it was easier to add a wider variety of news to those Christmas letters to friends and relatives.

2022 is on the horizon. Enjoy your celebrations tonight and have a Happy New Year.

One to Tree

The Cedar of Lebanon is now considered a vulnerable tree, usually found in Eastern Mediterranean countries. It was introduced to Britain around 400-years ago, usually found as parkland trees like this one in Shropshire.

The trees have many spiritual associations and can also symbolise, for some communities, both strength and resilience. It doesn’t flower until it is around 30-years of age and can live for 1,000 years or more.
