Ian has supplied an interesting report on the work planned for the Green. Just Click Here to read it but, before you do that, he and David really need a couple more people to help them tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday. So, if you have some spare time and could help move supplies and equipment round the green, please contact Ian asap and he will give you more details and timings.
Steve R & Steve B have won the Unofficial “Keeping It All In Focus Cup 2023” by concentrating hard on performing their most worried & serious expressions whilst playing in an Official Cup Competition in September. All other players withdrew from this Unofficial Competition once they saw the high standard of their opposition.
The rain has the last laugh of the season, keeping Members away from the green on the final day. An early end to the season means that a lot of work on the green can take place between now and next March so that the playing surface will be the very best it can be. Thanks again to Ian and David for looking after the green and to Tommy and Keith for maintenance.

WARNING: It is not the end of the season for the website so keep checking back every day as life continues despite no bowling!
Unfortunately, it has arrived. Today is the last day of the Vardre Deganwy Bowling Club’s season. Make the most of today because you might also need to fit in a trip down to the Craig y Don Bowling Club (2pm-4pm) to sign up for their Winter Open Season just in case you want to bowl before the start of next season.
Now that the end of the bowling season is almost here, no doubt you will have been wondering how to fill those long, empty hours during the Autumn and Winter. Well, now you are so toned up from an active spring and summer, you might be considering competing in the Ultra Marathon on 13th October 2023 starting at the Village of Big Bear Lake, USA. Just a simple distance of 100-miles with an elevation gain of 5,181m and a lot of running over 7,000-feet (twice the height of Snowdon).
If you want to know more, then take a look at the UTMB website for all their competitions (Click Here).
Keepy-Uppy (or Keepie Uppie) is a popular game usually performed with a football. You start it off by putting your foot on the ball then quickly pull it towards you whilst putting your shoe underneath it in order to lift it off the ground. You then try to keep it in the air by bouncing it off any part of your body, except your hand or arm, as many times as you can without the ball hitting the ground.
Kath tries waving an imaginary yellow card. Of course, this action isn’t allowed in the football league anymore. Crown Green Bowls has its own set of laws of the game although yellow cards have not yet made it onto the list.
Ian played in the Clwydian Merits Semi-Final yesterday at Min-y-Don. It was a long, tough struggle but Ian was just pipped at the post. More than a dozen supporters from Vardre Deganwy were there to give encouragement. Well played Ian. Next year …..
The last league merits competition of the season takes place today with the Clwydian League President’s Day at Min-y-Don green – 11:00am Start. Our very own Ian Wilson – top of our ‘A’ Team who finished 8th this season out of the 178 players in Division ‘A’ – won his way through last Friday to play in the final rounds today. If you get the chance, do get along to give him your support.
