Green Closed 1st August

The green will be closed today – Tuesday 1st August – from 9:00am until midday and then again in the afternoon between about 4:00pm and 5:00pm.

This is for important work to the green to get it in the best possible condition for the rest of the season. So, the good news is that the green will be open between midday and 4:00pm and again after 5:00pm although it might still be a bit tacky after being sprayed. Apologies for the late notice. Ian

Win, Win, Win, Win

The Charity Day at Vardre Deganwy crown green yesterday was very successful. The generosity and hard work of the organisers and volunteers, the magnificent buffet, together with the donations of prizes, was reflected in the total amount raised of £725.00. Congratulations everyone.

The Competition Winners of the day were Jenny (Right) who won the Spider Competition, and Ann, Geoff and Bob (Above) who were the winners of the Bowling Competition. Keep checking back over the next few days for more photographs from the event.

However, ultimately the Real Winners will be Deganwy Primary School children – the beneficiaries of this fundraising event.

Today is the Day

The day will start with the Spider competition. (Drone photo by Gareth Ellidge of “Welsh Skies by Gareth”).

Our charity fundraising day will start with the Spider followed by a bowling competition plus raffle and tombola, and perhaps other surprises too.

Thoughts for the Day

Here are a couple of Thoughts for the Day:

“The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness”,

Abraham Maslow (American Psychologist)

“We are not thinking machines that feel – we are feeling machines that think”

Antonio Damasio (Neuroscientist and Psychologist)

Remember that it’s the Vardre Deganwy Charity Fun Day Tomorrow 30th July – starting at 1:00pm

Walk the Plank

So you think that our maintenance volunteers are working hard up at the green? Well, you’d be quite right but perhaps you would not realise how they keep motivated. Here’s a little clue:

Whilst John P and Keith have acted upon Ian’s instructions on how to play Pirates properly, by keeping their feet off the ground, Tommy has yet to make his move.

Hold Your Breath

Gay and Sue

When bowling, it is important to concentrate and keep your eye on the line. This method usually results in very serious expressions as beautifully demonstrated here by Gay and Sue. They are truly having fun, despite the outward demeanour.
