Replacement of rotten edging boards

Our skilled
maintenance team were hard
at it once again.

Under the supervision of
President Barry
(now with his Chairman
of the board hat on !!)
they carried out the task of replacing the rotten edging boards around the green.

"Eh Oooop lads I'll just instigate some Quality Assurance on the work
you have just carried out.
Eeeeh by gum you never get
bored replacing boards"

Well done lads another splendid effort

The news from the green is as exciting as it gets these day so just to inject a little more enthusiasm into the procedings, the more observant of you will have noticed the word "Instigate" used above. So for those with a limited command of the English Language
here is a short history of its origin:

Mid 16th century (in the sense ‘urge on’):
from Latin instigat- ‘urged, incited’, from the verb instigare,
from in- ‘towards’ + stigare ‘prick, incite’.

Got it? Oh well perhaps not.

Repairs Carried out to the clubhouse roof

King Barry.

Revered leader of the Banwell Bowling Club
and his team have recently swung into action.

"Eh ooops lads we need to be on higher ground
and it is time you climbed the ladder
to a more prominent position"

We are going to repair the clubhouse roof !!

So accompanied by his two most loyal courtiers:

Lord Flea keeper of the gamebirds
and
Lord Paulos a former prominent member of the bill

The team swung into action.

If you remember, the roof had a leak in it
and on rainy days it was a common sight
to see an old bucket placed
strategically to catch the drops

Hopefully this sight will be confined to history.
It looks like the lads have done a good job

And so the work was completed.
Encouraged by King Barry's meaningless
phrases such as:

"Eh Ooops lads ,
Deeds in themselves are meaningless
unless they are for some higher purpose"

Well done you three
