Bird Talk

Firstly, a word from David L our Treasurer: “Good news that our Club Fundraiser last week, together with additional donations, raised a total of £708.50. Well done to those who worked so hard on the day and many thanks to everyone who contributed or donated.”

Blackbirds spread the news

Secondly, a word (usually many, many, many more than just “a” word) from Dave H our Secretary: “Just a quick reminder that the next Friendly match is this Thursday 11th July at Eirias Park. If you can play, please arrive around 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start (no charge). Thanks.”

Well Matched

Our club hosted the Ladies Friendly match versus Rhos-on-Sea yesterday afternoon. Unusually for a Ladies Friendly match, the sun shone all afternoon. Luckily there were no casualties suffering from heat stroke. The match was very close with just a 1-point difference between the two teams on the aggregate. Well played everyone.

A Millinery Display

Gary, Marina, Clarice and David P are ahead of the game

You will have to travel a long way to see an equivalent display of millinery as put on by a few members of our Clwydian ‘B’ Team. A couple of hats are also enhanced by adding a pair of sunglasses. OK, perhaps not all are wearing hats, but you note that they are all cordoned off by safety tape to prevent others from getting access to the precious millinery.

An Aside

Just in case you are looking for a distraction from any news that might relate to any elections that might be underway in the world, Click Here to go to the CNN website and see drone footage over Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano.

Have Barrow, Will Travel

Frank wanders around the green with an empty wheelbarrow looking for anything to put in it. He was heard to say, “I used to keep it full of four-leafed clovers, but I had to stop when I realised that I shouldn’t push my luck!”

Winday (not Windy)

Yesterday all three of our Clwydian League Teams won their matches. The ‘C’ Team had the best result with a 10:2 victory, and both the ‘A’ & ‘B’ Teams won 8:4.
