Just a Bit Short

Message from the Club to our Members: “Despite a plea on the club notice-boards, our TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY A and B teams are short of just 1 or 2 players to make up a manageable squad of players for respective captains to select from for the coming season. We have had a couple of volunteers offering assistance, but could still do with perhaps 4 or 5 more to relieve captains of added stress of having to field a full team. If you can only help out occasionally, it would alleviate the problem. In the case of our Wednesday B team, 3 of our 14 League games and our Cup matches will be on a Monday evening.

I appreciate the commitment members have already made. I must add that this is the first season in some time that certain squads have depleted numbers, but to avoid “borrowing” players from other teams (which causes more disruption – and the Wednesday teams don’t have that alternative anyhow) a few more registered players would be the ideal solution. IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE CONTACT A TEAM CAPTAIN. THANK YOU.”

Shooting for the Stars

In 1981, on 12th April, the space shuttle Columbia was launched for the first time. Setting off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, taking 54-hours to do 36-orbits of the earth before touching down in Edward’s Air Force Base in California.

One-Liners

Time to cheer ourselves up:

  • “If I had 50p for every maths exam that I ever failed, I’d have £6.30 by now.”
  • “When life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.”
  • “What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy?” “I don’t know and I don’t care.”

GREEN CLOSED TODAY TUESDAY

Due to the relentless wet weather, unfortunately the green is closed today.

Oh oh, that look on Eddie’s face tells up he’s up to something. Brace yourselves. Bob is already wondering where he can hide.

Our Clwydian ‘C’ Team was due to play this morning but their opponents have withdrawn from the league. So, luckily for them on a bad weather day like today, they have a BYE.
