On Thursday 19th September (reserve date of 22nd September if weather is inclement), Ian is organising another Fun Day event with 4-different types of bowling games.
However, in advance of the event, 4-teams of 8-players each are needed to be formed as three of the games will be opposing another team. There is a poster on display in the Clubhouse so please add your name to the list as soon as possible. As with all of Ian’s events, it will be an enjoyable day.
Thank you to all the participants and other visitors to our club on Sunday when we hosted the Alan Jones Memorial Cup for the third year running. It was great to watch all the bowls matches, with Gareth W Hughes, Craig y Don, the eventual winner. Congratulations to all the participants.
Members provided refreshments throughout the day and the income from sales from this event and from the Colwyn Bowls Festival the previous week, together with the football cards and donations, was over £700.00. A great boost for the club and all due to the club members who worked hard at the events.
Roger and Margaret Dickinson, both former President’s of our Club, headed down to the green yesterday to watch our ‘B’ Team in its North Wales Coast League match. The team had a good win with 7:5 points, so Margaret and Roger might find themselves as the permanent team mascots. (Photo courtesy of Elaine Beech).
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.
Gay and Bunty race past Sylvia in their rush to be first in line for free tickets to “Shrek, the Musical”.
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.
Question: If a fender and fire irons cost three pounds, what will a ton of coals come to?
