29th Post.....Celebrity Calls......


Monday the 7th March was a wash-out with steady rain.  However, that didn't deter our most senior player, Gerry, who had the pistes to himself!  WhatsApp lit up with messages that someone was spotted on the pistes through the torrential rain......on closer investigation.....the pictures never lie.......What a man!


Tuesday 10th March saw the article regarding the Official opening of the new facility published in the Northside People.



And just to drive home the message that we're not 'rubbish' players Fingal Co. Co. provided a new bin at the Verbena Park entrance to the park.  For that we thank them and we hope that their new-found interest in upgrading the park continues with the reinstatement of the pathways to their original width / surface and that they continue to liaise with us regarding improvements e.g. more signage regarding dog waste etiquette.




Wednesday was just the second day of play in Competition A of 2020.  The cream is rising to the top with Ciaran moving into a slender lead over Tom B, Charlie and Chris.  The beauty of the situation is that the best eight of twelve scores will count towards the final results for each player sometime near the end of May.  More players are welcome to join in the Wednesday Competition or just to play casually on the day.

BBC  v  CPC Sunday 3rd November in Alden Park: The outstanding rematch between Cavan and Bayside took place in murky but dry weather in Alden Park yesterday.  Cavan originally expected to have 18 players but their numbers fell to 13 on the day.  Bayside had 27 players on our list and that dwindled also, but able replacements showed up on the day. CPC were treated to refreshments in the BCC and greeted by Eileen D, Eileen O'B, Mary G, Agnes G and Kathryn O'D from the BBC.  They were able to have tea/coffee and sandwiches and use the facilities before decanting to Alden Park.  Our thanks to the ladies who did the 'meet and greet'.  The sandwiches were provided by Perfect Day Café courtesy of the €5 collected from each BBC player on the day.   They arrived well before the scheduled time and were at Alden shortly after noon.  They practiced for a half hour and then we commenced play with the BBC teams being rejigged due to the earlier start....
