President’s Day (North Wales Coast League) Yesterday

On a day of near perfect weather, President’s Day ran smoothly thanks to great preparation by the league’s officers, Jim Paton, Robina Williams, Chris Hawkins, and Vardre Deganwy – the host club – with all the finalists and spectators in happy, summer mood. Congratulations to all the winners on the day and over the whole 2024 season, with the awards presented by this year’s President, Marina Roberts. Check back here in a day or two (or three) for some more photos of the event.

What a Creative Knit

The Longest Yarn Exhibit – a tribute to the D-Day Landings of 1944 during WWII – starts today at the Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Square, in the centre of Llandudno. It is a modern-day equivalent of the Bayeux Tapestry, in 80-panels. This is touring the UK & USA in 2024. Not only that, but you can also see the Ripon Tank on display in the Victoria Centre (already insitu) and, at Clare’s Department Store, you can view the Creative Criccieth Gown of Poppies.

Fun Day 16th September

Ian used his first class organisational skills to run a Fun Day for all club members. There were four different types of games all played by the four teams held on a sunny day in September. Click Here to see some photographs from the day. (Photographs of the event courtesy of John Cartwright).

Howzat!

Esther shows her strength by lifting the Jack high above her head, but Ian can only raise a single finger, whilst Sue hopes that holding a bowl at her midriff will trump both a Jack and a finger held aloft. They nervously await the judgement of the crowd. (Photo courtesy of Marina Roberts).
