Congratulations to the Club’s Clwyd League Division ‘C’ Team (above) that won their Quarter Final competition match last night versus Highbury ‘B’.

Playing Ducks and Drakes

Did you know that in the late 16th Century, bowls was the national sport? Sir Francis Drake was reputed to have been playing when the supposedly invincible Spanish Armada crept up to the south coast of England in 1588.  Drake was second-in-command to Admiral Charles Howard in the victory over the Spanish fleet. England lost just 100 men compared the 20,000 men and 51 ships lost by the Spanish.

Frank and Alan act out a bit of history

Motto of the Day

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming “WOO HOO, what a ride!”.

Inside Play

The Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) has undertaken some interesting research in recent years, lead by their Just Bowl initiative, about the benefits of physical activity for residents in care homes. Just Bowl encourages individuals of all ages, particularly those over 60 to get active.

A Day Out

Are you looking for somewhere to go today (Sunday 28th April 2024)? Well, get your skates on because it is day two of the Glastonbury Medieval Fayre. Click Here to visit their website. If it’s too late notice this year, then mark it in your diary for a trip there in 2025.

No, not a tussle after a bowls match, but a little taste of what you could encounter at the Glastonbury Medieval Fayre

Coasting Along

Wendy: Esther, you like a good quiz question. Which country in the world has the longest coastline?
