Saturday Bowls Alright for Sighting 🎶

Not quite the same ring as the sort of similarly named Elton John/Bernie Taupin song. However, Captain Ian (‘A’ Team) reminisces about his best laid plans for 2023 (Click Here).

Captain Ian

Sail the Seven Seas

Cledwyn is all set up as a pirate, complete with a packed lunch, to go and sail the seven seas. What are the Seven Seas?

  • Mediterranean Sea
  • Black Sea
  • Dead Sea
  • Arabian Sea
  • Persian Gulf Sea

Stand and Deliver

Sylvia & Elaine

No, the Club has not invested in bouncers to keep the place protected. It’s Sylvia and Elaine who are monitoring the thoroughfare to ensure that everyone can get through to the excellent refreshments in the Clubhouse.

Up, Up and Away

Vardre Deganwy Vale of Clwyd Team gains promotion in its first season. Team Members ( L to R): Sylvia; Jenny; Fiona; JohnF (back row); Tommy; Captain Nigel (back row); Clarice; Keith (back row); Elaine; ColinB (back row); Hazel; JohnP (back row); Gay.

It was a very exciting end to the season last night. Our Team – 2nd place in the Division – needed 4-points from the match, against the 3rd place team, to guarantee 2nd place and promotion into the Division above in 2024. After the first four matches, the score was 2:2. But as the evening progressed, there were more wins for our Team, resulting in an 8:4 victory. Well done everyone. What a season!

Arthur: David, who killed the greatest number of chickens?

David: Hamlet’s uncle, of course, because “he did murder most foul”.

The Winner

The Alan Jones Memorial Cup Competition was held on our green yesterday. Family members of Alan Jones were there to watch the 32 Entrants compete for the impressive Cup. Starting at 9am and finishing at 7pm, the ultimate winner was Gary Roberts who beat John Bailey. After he was presented with the Cup, Gary gave a much appreciated and heartfelt speech. Congratulations to Gary, the very well deserved Winner, and to John, the Runner-Up, and to DT Evans, the Referee who kept a careful eye on play throughout the day. Congratulations too for the Organisers and all the Competitors for a very entertaining day.

Gary Roberts, Winner of the Alan Jones Memorial Cup 2023, has a good grip on the very well-earned trophy

A few more photos from the event will be on the website later in the week so please keep checking back.
