Karen, Fiona, Karen

Just to clarify, if your name is Karen and you join our Club, you will not be required to perform as a bookend when in our Clubhouse. We already have two Karen’s, and they already perform this occasional role perfectly albeit one is a little more laid back about the responsibility.

Two Nights of Success

Our new Clwyd League Team had a marvellous 10:2 win on Thursday night that saw the Team soar into 2nd place in their Division.

Last night, our Colwyn & Llandudno League ‘A’ Team had an excellent win in the Preliminary Round of the Division Cup Competition, winning by 220 points to 162 points.

A Call to Members

Tonight’s the night of some of the Preliminary Rounds of the Colwyn & Llandudno Bowling League’s Cup Competition 2023. The Dwygyfylchi ‘B’ versus Craig y Don ‘C’ match will be held on the Vardre Deganwy Bowling Green, and we are still looking for club members who can help host the event. Members are still needed to measure so please put your name on the list in the Clubhouse to ensure that we provide everything that’s needed to make the evening a success.

Our ‘A’ Team is playing their Cup match versus Rhuddlan tonight at Abergele Bowling Club.

David & Ian will be otherwise engaged, so we need others to stand up to measure at Vardre Deganwy

Llandudno Hair BnB

A group of Llandudno goats turned up last night needing dinner and somewhere to stay for the night. The whole street was able to accommodate their needs.

Symbolism has appeared in every human culture. The belief that there are patterns or tendencies organising nature and human experience. For instance, the role of a Jester is to act as a mirror in which those in authority see their own foolishness. Shakespeare knew how to use riddles and humour, indirectly offering them insight.

Confucious is said to have asserted that, “Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or laws.”

However, if you are a keen fan of the Eurovision Song Contest (and who is?) then Click Here because the BBC tells us that more tickets are being made available at 12:00 BST today, after the first tickets were sold out within 90-minutes of going on sale.

Spring v Winter?

Whilst our ‘A’ Team was deluged on the Vardre Deganwy green, just 7-miles away, our ‘B’ Team avoided it all at Old Colwyn. Certainly a mixed day of fortunes for our teams. Is it Spring at present or still Winter? The plants in the garden know …
