Going Strong

Congratulations to our Clwyd League (Thursday night) Team for their win two nights ago. The Team is having a successful season in the ‘C’ Division after promotion last season at the first attempt. Just 3-points cover the top 3-clubs with our Team sitting in 2nd place.

Riddle

John C (top left): Dave, here’s something from one bowls coach to another.

Dave H (top right): OK John, lay it on me.

John C: What is that which comes with a coach, goes with a coach, is of no use whatever to the coach, and yet the coach can’t go without it?

Dave H: You’ve stumped me there John. OK, what’s the answer?

John C: Noise.

Summer Solstice Today

Today will be the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the 2024 Summer Solstice will occur at 21:50pm British Summer Time. So day and night today will be roughly equal in length. The Summer Solstice can occur between the 20th and 22nd June – this year it is on the 20th – when the Sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer (Source: www.timeanddate.com).

3 Local Seagull Chicks just care about the lovely sunshine rather than the Summer Solstice

4 of the Best

Our ‘B’ Team in the North Wales Coast League won their match yesterday by 12 wins to zero. Not only that but 4 of their players had the “Best Result” of the match. Well done everyone.

Trooping the Colour

Today is Trooping the Colour, the event to celebrate the official birthday of King Charles III. His actual birthday is in November but the official birthday is usually held in the summer months, although this year the weather tells us that we might still be stuck in November. Watch it from 10:30am on BBC1.

Reminders

Reminder 1: Volunteers are needed for the evening of 19th June 2024 to help with refreshments or measuring. The list is up in the Clubhouse so please add your name.

Reminder 2: The Colwyn Bowls Festival 2024 runs from Sunday 28th July until Friday 2nd August. They have had a huge number of entries for all competitions so there is a meeting next week, with all the local clubs that will be hosting one or more of the preliminary rounds of the competitions, to agree and finalise all the details so be prepared for more requests to help host some of those events. All North Wales Leagues have no matches that week in support of the event.

Reminder 3: We will need a new Treasurer in November so please consider your nomination for this role.

Friendly Day Today

Today’s Friendly is at Home versus Penrhyn New Hall. Arrive by 1:30pm to be paired up with a partner, and then the match commences at 2:00pm. Come along and enjoy yourselves. It’s a great way for less experienced players to play a game with someone who has more experience. It is also played in a relaxed and friendly competitive way.

1 + 1 = 2

Can you do the above sum? Can you also do subtractions? Then you are just the person that this Club will need after November, so please put your thinking cap on now and prepare to volunteer. Why? Well here’s a message from David L, Treasurer:

“After some 10-years as Treasurer, including a few years as Assistant Treasurer, I have decided not to continue after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in November.”

“If anyone is interested in taking on this very important role then please contact me to discuss it in more detail. In addition, we will also need someone to Audit/Check the Annual Accounts in October this year. I look forward to hearing from you.” David L, Treasurer

You too could look like this after November. In the meantime, many thanks to David Leech for all his good work as our Treasurer
