The green will be closed on 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
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.
Our charity fundraising day will start with the Spider followed by a bowling competition plus raffle and tombola, and perhaps other surprises too.
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
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:
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.
Our Club’s Charity Day takes place on Sunday with the Spider competition (£1) plus the bowling match. (£2.50). Volunteers will spend Saturday preparing for the following day, so please remember to bring in any raffle and tombola donations before Saturday morning. On Sunday you will need to bring yourself (minimum), plenty of dough and your bowls.
Use a mark on or around the bowling green to help your aim whether you are playing indoors or outdoors. Here Shan uses a mark on the wall to help her!
Next Sunday is the Club’s special event to raise funds for the local primary school in Deganwy to help them provide a shed to serve vegetables and healthy food options to the children. In the same way that playing bowls is a great way of staying fit and healthy, the outcome of the day will be our way of supporting the good health of the children in our local school.
The Spider will be the first event of the day so arrive by 1:00pm if you want to take part in it. The bowling event will start at 1:30pm, straight after the Spider.
The second of the Vardre Deganwy trips to the Prestatyn Indoor Bowling Centre took place on Friday. Ironically, it was a lovely sunny day outside. Another visit is bound to be arranged so do take the opportunity to try out indoor bowling with tuition by our very own John Probyn and Gay Hiçdönmez. Click Here for a few photos of the day.
