A Little Mouse with Clogs On?

There are hundreds of species of mice, in a wide variety of colours, living in all types of terrain around the world. Did you know that the heart of a mouse beats at 632 beats per minute compared to a human heart that beats at 60 to 100 beats per minute?

The First Aid course will be held this morning in the Clubhouse from 10:00am to 12:30pm. There are 3-spare places but contact Dave H if you would like to attend but have not signed up on the noticeboard.

This evening we will be hosting a Colwyn & Llandudno League Division Cup Competition match from 6:00pm to 9:00pmish. Hopefully you have signed up to help out on the night or plan to attend to watch. See you all there.

P.S. Congratulations to our new Clwyd League team that had an 11:1 win last night to go top of their Division in their first year of entry. Congratulations too to the ‘A’ Team, in the Colwyn & Llandudno League ‘A’ Division, that had a very well-earned win on Wednesday night against very strong opposition. Congratulations too to our Clwydian Ladies League Team in their first year of entry as their decisive win put them top of their Division. Congratulations too to our Clwydian League ‘B’ Team that is still sitting at the top of their Division after another good win on Tuesday. Congratulations too to our Clwydian League ‘C’ Team that achieved a marvellous 11:1 win in their Division. What a week. Well done everyone.

Lap it Up

Last night’s thirsty visitor in Llandudno. Remember to look out for hedgehogs in your garden and make sure they have something to drink. They are very useful for gobbling up those pesky slugs!

Llandudno Hedgehog

Did you know that Hedgehogs do have some degree of legal protection in the UK?

  • they are listed on schedule 6 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) which makes it illegal to kill or capture wild hedgehogs, with certain methods listed;
  • they are also listed under the Wild Mammals Protection Act (1996), which prohibits cruel treatment of hedgehogs;
  • a species of ‘principal importance’ under the NERC Act, which is meant to confer a ‘duty of responsibilty’ to public bodies.

Walking or Sitting Group?

We have some close ties with Llandudno U3A. Elaine is one of the walking group leaders, and some of our Members have also joined up to participate. However, they seem to think it’s a sitting-group rather than a walking-group. Who’s going to tell them?

Insider Trading?

Our Social Group organised a trip for about a dozen people to the Ffrith indoor bowling centre on Friday. It was a very enjoyable event so hopefully we won’t be losing any of our crown green bowlers to this inside game. Many thanks to the Organisers.
