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).

President’s Day 2024

Vardre Deganwy President’s Day, held on 12th September, was a day packed with competitions (despite the weather). President Shan Eccles presented prizes to the winners. Clarice & David L won the Closing 4’s and Nigel won the Hornby Cup. Click Here for a few more photos from the day. (Photos courtesy of Marina Roberts).

The Hunger Games of Bowls

The League Merits competitions can mean a very long day so always best to be ready for action at the feeding stations as recently demonstrated by Elaine, Shan and Eddie. Eddie is still in charge of the umbrella.

Bench Joke

Three old men were sitting on a bench when a reporter approached them.
“I wonder if you three would be willing to do an interview and tell me your secret to long life,” the reporter asked.
The three old men agreed and the reporter asked the first old man his secret to long life.
“I never drank alcohol, I never smoked tobacco and I have been married to the same woman for fifty years.”
“That’s really remarkable!” said the reporter, “And how old are you?”
“I’m 93,” said the first old man.
The second man was asked the same question on his secret to long life.
“I drank on occasion, I smoked, but not often and I dated some.”
And how old are you?” asked the reporter.
“I’m 91,” said the second old man.
Finally, the reporter approached the third old man and asked his secret to a long life.
“I dated every woman that would go out with me, I drank until I passed out and I smoked three packs of cigarettes a day.”
“Wow!” said the reporter, “And how old are you?”
“29,” replied the third man.
Please note that there is no relation between the photograph above and the joke below it. Any similarities are purely coincidental. However, the bench cannot be vouched for.
