Now You Sea It

Remember that today the Lions Club of Llandudno host an annual event: the Llandudno Lions Dip. A dip in the sea on Boxing Day. There are prizes for the best fancy dress costume plus a Grand Prize Raffle Draw. See you all there? 🤩

🎅🕊Happy Christmas to All🕊🎅

The gate is open for the annual visitor,
The grass is green even though it's winter,
The birds are pecking at soil on the crown,
But look - what's that? 
It's our green keeping duo,
And members, and Santa, chanting "Ho Ho Ho".

🎅Santa Is On His Way🎅

It’s time to track Santa on his annual single-day journey around the world. Click Here to travel to the NORAD website where you can see ‘live’ where in the world he is now. What’s NORAD, you ask? It’s the North American Aerospace Defence Command, an American/Canadian bi-national body watching the skies and beyond every day of the year. It has tracked Santa on his single-day trip around the globe over six decades.

Experiencing Wind? Use It!

With the easing at 21:00 hours last night of the latest Met Office Yellow weather warning for Wales (high winds), you might want to consider becoming a Weather Watcher for the BBC. Sign up on the BBC website to share your weather reports and/or photos.

Reminder: We’re Tracking Santa around the World from 9:00am tomorrow.

Winter Bowling Half and Three-Quarter Time

Some club members are participating in the winter bowling leagues at Betws yn Rhos. At this stage of the season the teams are doing quite well. The Vardre week-day league team is 2nd in their division at the three-quarter stage of the season; just going one-point behind the lead team that includes a Vardre member; and, the Fingers and Thumbs Saturday doubles team (members from more than one club) is in 4th place at the halfway point in their season.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, 21st December 2024, will be the shortest day of the year with the Winter Solstice occurring in the UK at 9:23am. The shortest day means, of course, it also has the longest night of the year. The great news is that for the next 6-months, the days will be getting longer. Yay!

Click Here to visit the English Heritage website to find out how you could be celebrating this year’s winter solstice at sunrise tomorrow.

Look See

There are some fun events on over the next few days if you’re looking for a diversion from cleaning the house or watching TV. Click Here to go to the Visit Conwy website and take a look at your options.
