Puppet or robot with Artificial Intelligence (AI)? You decide.
Like a Puppet on a String?
Eat? Bowl? Shop? Ride? So?
If you want to do any of the above (although the final one should really read: Sew?) then our Social Committee has ALL the answers for you. All you have to do is communicate with them, via the very handy, non-digitised, sheets of paper (remember them?) pinned neatly on the noticeboard in the Clubhouse. Life couldn’t be easier! They are doing all the planning, you just have to let them know you want to participate then turn up and enjoy yourselves.
Quality
Hazel played very well in the Colwyn & Llandudno Merits for our ‘B’ Team yesterday at St. Asaph, winning a great match in the 1st round but just losing out in the 2nd. But what’s this? Hazel and David Leech both took part in the League Merits yesterday but why is he looking so pink? Meanwhile, at Craig y Don, David Jones represented our ‘A’ Team in the Merits.

Should We Stay or Should We Go?
With the final games of the Colwyn and Llandudno League played on Wednesday night 6th September, our ‘B’ Team was at Home.
Meanwhile, the ‘A’ Team just missed out on a draw or a win but finished comfortably in 5th position in the ‘A’ Division. A real achievement in the Team’s first year after returning to that Division.
Ladies Day
Yesterday was the Clwydian Ladies Merits and League 2023 Trophy Awards Day at Rhyl, and the last game of the season for the Colwyn and Llandudno League.

‘B’ Team Supreme
Our fabulous ‘B’ Team won the Clywdian League Division ‘C’ Title yesterday, and they did it with a very good 7:5 Away win, when they just needed 3-game wins to secure the Title. They finished 12-points ahead of the 2nd placed team. Congratulations to all.
Our ‘C’ Team achieved something that is perhaps quite rare, they reached exactly the same position in 2023 as they did in 2022 – their very first year; with exactly the same number of wins; and, exactly the same number of points; and, with exactly the same averages aggregate.
Our ‘A’ Team still has another match to play and that will be Away next Tuesday. However, their place in the ‘A’ Division is already assured again for the fifth consecutive year.

A Painting Competition?
No, not a Painting Competition, sorry to disappoint, but a new competition was invented on our green on Sunday – the Pointing Competition. Whilst Kath and Steve hold back before showing their techniques to the others, Rog, Hazel, JohnF and Bunty go straight in with their best ones. Whilst JohnF, Hazel and Rog go for the single finger style, Bunty wades in with a strong two-hander, i.e. a single finger-point on one hand but also using a prop (the marker board) in the other.
