John Barrington has set up a WhatsApp Group for any member who wants to help with tending to weeds and/or general tidy-up in the grounds. Even if it is just 5-minutes when you’re at the green, it would be great to get you involved in this WhatsApp Group. As a member of the group, you’ll find out what’s going on at the green (and maybe outside the green too!).

So, if you’d like to be involved simply send your name and mobile number to John B 07368 407467 who will send you an invite into the group. It all works more easily with good communication and the maintenance team looks forward to welcoming members to the group. Thank you.

John B hopes to welcome new members to the WhatsApp Group

Riddle

Clarice: Now Maureen, tell me the answer to this. Why is a little dog’s tail like the heart of a tree.

Maureen: Hmm. That’s a challenging one Clarice. Er, no, I have no idea. You’ll have to give me the answer to that one.

Clarice: Well Maureen, it’s because it is farthest from the bark!

Are You Weedy?

Message from John Barrington on behalf of the Maintenance Team: We are going to set up a WhatsApp Group for maintenance work at Vardre, tending to weeds and general tidy-up. If you would like to give some of your time to helping, whether occasionally or more frequently, please send your name and mobile number to John B 07368 407467. The maintenance team looks forward to welcoming members to the group. Thank you.

John B hopes members will give even a little bit of time to weed control

Volunteers Needed Please

Vardre Deganwy is hosting a cup competition match tomorrow night (Monday 28th April) between Mochdre Park ‘A’ and Llanfairfechan ‘A’, and 2 or 3 more volunteers are sought to help in the clubhouse and/or on the green from 5:00pm.

Our ‘A’ Team has a cup match elsewhere so none of them are available to help. Perhaps you have helped before, but perhaps you haven’t, so this is a great opportunity to help showcase the club to others, providing refreshments or measuring. Please just add your name to the list on the whiteboard in the clubhouse and be there on Monday. Thank you.

Measure for Measure

Maybe Shakespeare used this title because he was a crown green bowler himself. But maybe he didn’t have a Referee on hand to help him with his measuring. However, we are lucky enough to have Arthur Peake, Referee, amongst our ranks, and he very kindly provided training yesterday in the art of measuring in crown green bowls. Click Here for some photos that might well include something that you didn’t know about measuring.

Beware, these are now highly trained individuals in the art of measuring. Argue with them at your peril!
