Did you know that the following are all the leagues associated with the Welsh Crown Green Bowling Association (WCGBA)?
Whilst you-know-what is almost upon us, and it being 50-years since Abba won the you-know-what, if you’re a fan then you might be interested in the Abba Voyage, taking place in the Abba Arena at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. It runs until 25th November 2024. It’s a bit unusual, as it is a show of the digital avatars of the four members of the band, backed by a 10-piece band. Click Here for more information.
Yesterday all three of our Clwydian League Teams got 5-wins in each match played. The ‘B’ Team and the ‘C’ Team also won the aggregate giving them both a 7:5 win. Well played everyone.

The Festival is back for another year. The organisers also manage a ‘Road Run’ for vintage vehicles at 6:00pm on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. On Saturday the Road Run will travel from Llandudno to Conwy and back. On Sunday, they will take Marine Drive around the Great Orme.
Congratulations to the Club’s Clwyd League Division ‘C’ Team (above) that won their Quarter Final competition match last night versus Highbury ‘B’.
Did you know that in the late 16th Century, bowls was the national sport? Sir Francis Drake was reputed to have been playing when the supposedly invincible Spanish Armada crept up to the south coast of England in 1588. Drake was second-in-command to Admiral Charles Howard in the victory over the Spanish fleet. England lost just 100 men compared the 20,000 men and 51 ships lost by the Spanish.
