Between greenkeeping, event planning, mowing, captaining, hosting, measuring, Ian has also found time on his hands to write a review of our Club’s involvement in the recent Colwyn Bowls Festival. Click Here for his report.
Festival Review
Hands Up
Gay and Bunty race past Sylvia in their rush to be first in line for free tickets to “Shrek, the Musical”.
Friendly Today
A reminder from Dave Holland that the next Friendly match is today at Old Colwyn Bowls Club (OCBC), Bodelwyddan Avenue, Old Colwyn (near Aldi), LL29 9NP. If you’d like to play then be at the OCBC by 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start.
Is Maths Your Strong Suit?
Question: If a fender and fire irons cost three pounds, what will a ton of coals come to?
Answer: To ashes.

Top of the Table
It is not true that we ran out of tables during last week’s festival as we always had two folding tables to rely, and lean, on: Steve (above Left) and Ian (above Right)!
Music to Our Ears?
Gary shows Tommy how to play a saxophone using only a measuring tape and a bit of imagination.
What You Didn’t See!
No, not the knobbly knees competition (not this time, anyway). This was a “knee operation scar comparison” event, held during the Festival week, between Eddie and Alan. Eddie demonstrates the scar from his knee operation held some years ago. Whilst Alan demonstrates his scars from recent operations on each of his knees.
The Festival is Over
The weather has been exceptionally kind over the past 6-days. All competitions in the Festival were completed on time. Congratulations to all the entrants and also to Rhos Park Bowling Club for running such a successful event. Here are a few photos from the Over-60’s Quarter & Semi-Finals held at Rhos on Sea Bowling Club plus a few photos from the finals day at Rhos Park Bowling Club yesterday.
Final Day of the Colwyn Bowls Festival
After 5-days and evenings of tough competition, all the Finals of each competition will be held today at Rhos Park Bowling Club – the Organiser of this great Festival. The Team of Organisers has done a superb job, and supported by local clubs: Vardre Deganwy, Rhos-on-Sea, Penrhyn New Hall, Mochdre Park, Min y Don, Old Colwyn and Eirias Park, where many preliminary rounds and some Quarter Finals have been held.
Here are a few photo reminders of the week at Vardre Deganwy.
