32nd Post.....Limbo.....


The advice is changing by the day.  As Tom B. says....'we're doing our bit'.  Pity not to be able to play as normal but in the bigger picture our inconvenience is a triviality.  If viewing the photos on a computer click on them to enlarge them.


Back to the future.......,

Gerry....'Social Distancing' yesterday in St. Anne's Park.


It's not all doom and gloom........


Vandalism.....caught in the act!

127th Post: 2024 - The Year of Bayside Boules

Image
Some of the Committee will be meeting an officer of Fingal, Janette Scott in early January  with a view to gleaning advice and support for the future development of Bayside Boules.  Monday Competition: This is the penultimate table with Ciarán in the lead.  Chris could technically have stolen the title had he been able to play on the final Monday and Ciarán was to lose all his games.  Unfortunately, he was unable to play and Ciarán won on merit anyway on the final Monday.   He also beat Tom Buckley's record of 20 'Thirteens' in a competition.  He retains the trophy which we will present formally at the first session of the next round of competition.  Congratulations Ciarán!! Unusually we didn't lose any Monday to inclement weather.  Also, we wish Joan all the best with her continuing recovery and will be delighted to see her back in action in 2024.  All the best to any other of pour members who are indisposed over this Christmas. Christmas Triples Competition: Ciarán or

  Monday Competition Group A: Ciarán won the third quarter Singles Monday Competition 2023.  Congratulations Ciarán. Tom Buckley the previous winner, who incidentally has the record of 20 x 13s in a single league in the last iteration,  presented Ciarán with the trophy before play today in the first game of the new Competition.  While Ciarán won the competition he noted that Agnes was 2nd; Maureen 3rd and Mary was 4th.  The ladies are truly closing in........ Fourteen played today in dull but dry conditions.  All played with three boules each with one singles match each time frame.  More people are 'shooting' now which will improve our standards going forward. The weather may have been dull but the play certainly wasn't ! Bayside Community Day: Bayside Community Association invited the voluntary community groups to showcase and advertise their activities on Sunday 1st October in the Community Centre.  Our thanks to Joan Maher, Larry Breheny, Ciarán Walsh, Gertie Gilbert, Ma
