In 1709 on 12th April, Richard Steele, a writer, playwright and politician, published the first edition of “The Tatler” magazine. It was a new type of journalism featuring essays on contemporary manners.
“The Tatler” is now published by the Condé Nast group of magazine titles. Condé Nast was founded in 1909. “The Tatler” now has sister publications in some other countries around the world, and focuses on fashion, lifestyle and society events.

Hopefully, there will be a few photos from last Sunday’s ‘Opening Fours Competition’ on the website tomorrow so please check back.
The first day of the season in the Clwydian League saw our 4-teams playing tough opposition. The ‘A’ & ‘B’ Teams both won by 8:4; the ‘C’ team had a 6:6 draw; and our new ‘D’ Team lost 4:8 to their opponents but, despite this, is a creditable 9th in the ‘D’ Division. John Cartwright, in the ‘B’ Team, sits atop the ‘B’ Division Averages. A great start to the 2025 Season.
The teams fought it out on the green on Sunday, with two-teams qualifying for the Final that will be held at a later date.
The Opening Fours Competition held on Sunday 6th April had 10 pairs competing for the first trophy of the season. By the time the preliminary rounds and the semi-finals had been held, it was too late to hold the final. So, the Final will be played later in the season between Mark & Karen and Elaine & Ann.

A message from the Maintenance Team:
Dodgy knees and backs! Do you have a “Black & Decker Workmate”, or similar small workbench, tucked away in your garage or shed that you no longer use?
If so, would you kindly consider donating it to the Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club? Working at ground level is getting increasingly difficult. Such a bench would be a great asset and would be used for a multitude of tasks. Many thanks. David Leech
