President Carwen
On Sunday, members of Resolven Ladies Bowls Club were at W.Glam.Ladies A.G.M, to see their hardworking and popular sec./treasurer take office as President of the Association
Carwen was cheered to the rafters, not only by Resolven Ladies Club but by all at the meeting.
The Chain of Office was presented to Carwen by the outgoing President Kath Hawes, who’d filled the post admirably for three years instead of the usual one, because of the Covid pandemic, while Carwen waited patiently in the wings!
Carwen also received an inscribed watch from her home club, presented to her by Resolven Ladies Vice- Chairperson Christine Twaite.
This is the first time that any Resolven bowler, man or woman, has served as president of their county association.
Congratulations Carwen and have a great year.

Autumn has arrived
Along the canal in Tonna
It was beautiful down there —10 minutes from where I live.
Autumn is my favourite time of the year
Autumn has arrived, but in my garden, I’ve waited 18 weeks for my baby sunflowers to bloom.

Cirrus Clouds in Tonna
Cirrus is a genus of high cloud made of ice crystals. Cirrus clouds typically appear delicate and wispy with white strands. Cirrus are usually formed when warm, dry air rises, causing water vapour deposition onto rocky or metallic dust particles at high altitudes.

Chirpy the Robin Update
Mary and Idris Gittins gave us a lovely story about their visiting robin recently.
( SEE “The Gittins Family Meet Chirpy” )
Latest update: from Mary:
” We sit in the backyard sometimes, instead of the front patio where Chirpy first flew into our lives and our affection! He emerges from the hedge when Idris whistles.
