The National Beekeeping Centre for Wales is based locally. If you are interested in bees, and there is a need for your interest because their habitats are reducing and their numbers are in decline. Perhaps you’ve always fancied being a beekeeper? If so, then try one of their weekend courses. The next one will be held on 1st & 2nd June 2024 at Bangor University’s Henfaes Research Centre.

On 17th May 1970, one of the pairs of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the film “The Wizard of Oz” was bought at an MGM Studio Auction by an anonymous buyer for $15,000. They then donated the pair of slippers to the Smithsonian Institution.
Today’s Friendly game is versus Old Colwyn. There won’t be another Friendly match for 3-weeks, so hopefully our members will turn out in numbers today. Arrive around 1:00pm for a prompt start at 1:30pm. It’s great fun, with experienced and less-experienced players teaming up to play doubles. A good way to gain experience in friendly competition and get to know members of another club.
