Conwy Mind is running a free 8-week programme called “My Generation” to help people aged over-50 to look after themselves and to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in participating then Click Here to visit their website to find out more.
“This week’s wet weather has delayed our Autumn work. The delivery of a ton of top dressing has been put back a week as the green has been too wet to vericut and scarify.’
“We are awaiting a drier couple of days to allow for the vericut to be less damaging to the surface – hopefully Friday – and then top dressing and fertiliser applied early next week. Our work is very weather dependent.” Ian
Paul having a “behind the bike shed” moment during today’s match.
In keeping with the others who practice their dance steps between ends on the bowling green, here Kevin and David RJ practice their synchronised jig for the Christmas Party.
The Space Girls (picture), still doing their space-saving stuff, would like you all to know that more photographs from last Thursday are now available for viewing.
I don’t know about everyone else, but this is my fondest memory of the day from the Final Friendly of the Season on 14th October:-
This looks a bit odd (above). Let’s move in closer.
Surely not? (above)
Yes he is! (above)
He is using the clipboard and the paper to measure which bowl is nearest to the jack. PRIZE FOR INNOVATION GOES TO ROGER.
Ann and Barbara go for the more conventional (and accurate!) method.
The party’s over! The green closed at 5:00pm today but it will reopen again in 2022. However, the website will continue on, unaffected by the weather (unlike the green maintenance).
We are all grateful to our volunteer greenkeepers for tending to the green’s needs all year round. I’m sure the rumour that they will be turning it into an ice rink during the winter is nothing but a rumour.
Remember that from January 2022, the Membership Year will run from 1st January to 31st December so put a reminder in your diary to pay the fee in January. The picture (above) is just a reminder of what you will be missing over the next few months and yet it is also something to look forward to in 2022.
The last competition of the season on 14th October, where the jockeying for position in the Spider, and the fighting for points in the games, gave us three winners who all went home with a prize. Click here to see some of the photographs from the day. (More to follow over the next few days).
The Space Girls (below) get ready to perform:
The winner of yesterday’s very exciting Spider Competition on the green was Gaye. Dave P presents the cash prize. Well done Gaye.
Security was on hand (below) to escort her home with her cash winnings.
Dave H wanted to know what was happening on the green today so he was checking the Club’s website for information. It’s a great way of keeping up to date with what’s going on.
In the meantime, outside the pavilion where Dave H was sitting, the Final Friendly of the Season today was well underway. The victors on this special day were Rhona, who had the highest score of the ladies, and David RJ who was the winner for the gentlemen. Congratulations all round. News about the Spider tomorrow morning.
As usual, there will be more photos to follow once the negatives have all been developed so keep checking back to this page over the next few days for the Link.
