Our Crafty Fundraisers

Congratulations to our Social Team for organising and running yesterday’s charity day with their own hand-made crafts on display for sale along with a bunch of owls for sale (ceramic not live ones), a ‘Name the Clown’ competition (no, the name was not John P, he was just collecting money for each guess), a splendid raffle, plus they were joined by two members of the Wales Air Ambulance fundraising team.

The winner of the ‘Name the Clown’ Competition was Debs R who correctly selected the name ‘Keir’. Click Here to see all the photos from the event. The total amount raised for the Wales Air Ambulance will be announced soon.

Today at Our Clubhouse

Upcoming Events

Charity Day 6th July: Make sure to put this date in your diary as the day will involve fundraising for the Wales Air Ambulance. As you will all know, the ambulance landed on our green a couple of months ago to attend to a visiting bowler who had collapsed.

Gardening Group: Well done all for yesterday’s tidy-up around the green. The next meet up is at 4:00pm on Monday 14th July for an hour or so.

Gardening Group

A reminder to all Members, if you can help with a bit of gardening at the club today, then please arrive by 1pm, and stay to help for as short or as long a time as possible. Bring any gardening instruments and bags with you that will be useful for weeding.

Don’t worry if you can’t help today as the group aims to meet up at 4pm every fortnight for an hour or so with the next date Monday 14th July. So, whatever time you can give to helping will be very much appreciated. See you there. Thank you. ✂

Double Delight

Last Wednesday was mid-season for the Ladies Clwydian League so the league held a doubles competition involving each club from both the ‘A’ & ‘B’ divisions. Shan and Diane represented the Vardre Deganwy Ladies Team in the ‘A’ Division Doubles Competition. Many thanks to club members who sent their good wishes before the event, and to those that supported the players on the day: Carol B (Ladies Team Captain; John B; Rhona; Elaine; Tom; Ann; and, Eddie. Unfortunately, Tom and Eddie missed out on the photos but here are just a few from the event:-

And the next doubles competition? It’s today at Dyserth 11am. 🎪
