Eglwysbach Show

Do you own cows or horses or sheep or a classic vehicle? Or maybe you have a dog instead. Whatever you enjoy then a visit to the Eglwysbach Show is for you. Treat your pet dog to a day out to watch the Dog Fun Show (on all day) and the Flyball Dog Demonstration. Sadly for you poultry competitors, Avian Influenza means there will be no Poultry Section this year. Click Here to visit their website for more details.

In The Groove

Although in yesterday’s post it looked like it wouldn’t happen, Mary did get everyone together for a game of musical chairs. She raises her hand to start the next round. Tension is high as Geoff prepares to remove the next chair.

All About the Size

Another of the famous Vardre Deganwy crowd scenes. It’s so heartwarming that our Members like to hang out together.

It’s a Demanding Game

Gwyneth and Clarice, on behalf of Club Members, give a long list of demands to DaveH, the Club Secretary, that includes: all ice creams in the freezer must have a chocolate coating; any bowler over 6′ tall must bowl whilst on their knees when playing a bowler who is 5′ 2″ in height or shorter in order to negate any perspective/view/reach advantage; and, all cushions must be 6-inches in depth with a waterproof cover so they can also be used in the rain.

Listen to the Band

No, not the internationally famous Monkees singing one of their best known songs, but perhaps almost as famous – it’s The Llandudno Town Band. The Band will be performing in the Bandstand on the Promenade every Sunday and Monday evening during the summer from 19:30 to 20:30 (up to, and including, Monday 28th August 2023). Click Here to visit their website.

But, before you go and see them tonight, why not pop along in the afternoon to the Vardre Deganwy bowling green to watch the Ladies Friendly versus Rhos-on-Sea Bowling Club. Play starts at 1:30pm.

Llandudno – can you hear the Llandudno Town Band on the Promenade Bandstand?

Riddles

DaveH (Right): Well Dave, why is a comet more like a dog than the Dog Star?

DaveL (Left): Hmm Dave, why?

DaveH: Because it has a tail and the Dog Star hasn’t.

DaveL: OK Dave, but how about this one: Why does the advantage lie with the Dog Star?

DaveH: Don’t know Dave, why?

DaveL: Because, while the comet is a transitory affair, the Dog Star is a real sky(e) terrier.

Ann concentrates hard and prepares herself as Maureen, Bradley and Geoff have just challenged her to frisbee the foot mat across the green so that it lands face-up on Ian’s clipboard.
