Bayside Boules Club - Alden Park

Update on Extension to Boules Facility: Ciaran and Tom met with officers from Fingal County Council and local Councillor Aoibhinn Tormey on Tuesday at noon.   This was a follow-up meeting subsequent to our representations on behalf of Bayside Boules for an extension to the playing area for Boules with attendant paths and seating. Barring unforeseen circumstances we hope to have two new pistes installed in next year's Fingal budget allocation [2024] . If approved in the Council's Budget meetings next February works should start before the summer.  The additional pistes will be wheelchair accessible and the furniture likewise.  Metre-wide access paths will be included and the possibility of some seating looking onto the play areas.  The signage will be upgraded.  Should our playing numbers expand in the future they may look favourably on any additional proposal. The upgraded facility will allow us to : Expand our existing group numbers Host visiting clubs more easily e.g. Malahid

  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
