With an excellent turnout of members for the Opening Day of the green, Chairman Marina Roberts opened proceedings, with additional words from the President Shan Eccles. Shan then sent the first bowl of the season which was cheered by members to its final position, just a few inches from the jack. An auspicious start to the season.
There will be more photos here from the event in the next two or three days, so please keep checking back.
Volunteers have worked hard over the past couple of days to get the grounds and clubhouse ready for today’s opening. Arrive before 1:00pm as the Club’s President Shan Eccles will roll the first bowl of the season and the green will then be open to members.
Help needed at the Club today please in preparation for the Opening Day of the Green. Please be at the club from 10:00am to 12 noon (or just half an hour if you can spare it). All sorts of jobs need to be done with the proverbial “many hands make light work” projected outcome. Thank you.
The Vardre Deganwy green will open for the new season next Saturday at 1:00pm when the Club President Shan will roll the first bowl. Some light refreshments will also be available. Ian has come up with a cunning plan for play during the afternoon. If you haven’t yet read his news item then Click Here.
The Venue has been changed for the first round of this tournament where our Vardre Deganwy Ladies Team will be representing Wales in the British Crown Green Bowling Association (BCGBA) Ladies Club Championship Tournament on 22nd March from 9:30am. Our team will now be playing at Belmont Bowling Club (Postcode: FY7 6HF) with the Semi-Finals and Finals to be held on the bowling green at the Cleveleys WMC (Postcode: FY5 1BN).
The green team is looking for a couple of people to help out with some light barrowing on Wednesday. The team intends to verticut the Vardre green at 1:00pm on Wednesday and that tends to drag quite a bit of thatch out of the surface which then needs barrowing to the compost piles at the rear of the clubhouse.
It is certainly an easier task with the club’s new mower but they still need a couple of volunteers to manage 2 wheelbarrows to make the whole job quicker. Hopefully the job can be completed in just a couple of hours (including tea and biscuits). Obviously, a level of fitness is required. Thank you. Ian
