Yesterday

Congratulations to our Clwydian League ‘C’ Team as they won their first match of the season and their 3 best players on the day are now numbers 1, 2 & 3 in the individual player aggregates list for their Division. Keep it going.

Meanwhile, our North Wales Coast League team members joined together to play a friendly at home against Dwygyfylchi last night. With about 15-members a side, some doubles matches were also played to ensure that everyone got a game despite the cold and the rain. Crown green bowlers are a hardy lot and it was an enjoyable evening all round.

Happy Easter

On Good Friday, Christians commemorate Jesus’ execution, when he died on a wooden cross. It’s a day of mourning in the Church, and services are held to reflect on his pain and suffering.

After Jesus died, his body was taken to be buried in a tomb. It was heavily guarded by Roman soldiers, and a huge boulder was placed in front of it.

Two days after, on the Sunday, Mary Magdalene and some of Jesus’ disciples visited the tomb, only to find the boulder pushed to one side and the inside completely empty. Later that day, they found Jesus alive, and realised God had resurrected him. This is why Christians celebrate Easter Sunday.

Alaska

30th March 1867 saw the signing of the land treaty for Alaska, with the purchase from Russia by the United States of America for a sum of $7.2 million. Less than 2-cents per acre. Russia was keen to sell the territory but there were many critics in the U.S., claiming it was a waste of money. Once gold was discovered there in 1899, views changed. Alaska became the 49th state on January 3, 1959.

It’s Astronomical

There are rules around Christian Moveable Feasts and Holy Days. Easter Day (on which all the rest depend) is always the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox (21st March). If the full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is on the following Sunday.

Esther, assisted by Clarice, directs team players away from the Easter Eggs

Just a little reminder to our Clwyd Team players that there will be a team practice on Saturday 30th March from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Also, remember not to handicap yourselves by eating any Easter eggs before the practice.

Ian: David, answer this, what is the colour of a grass plot covered with snow?

David J: Well Ian, I’m not sure about that. You’ll have to tell me.

Ian: It’s Invisible Green, of course!
