Begging bowl

Friday 7th March

Written by Gwyn Williams

Tracey and Gwyn joined the friendly group at DCF's Parkinson's Cricket today. With old and new players on fine form, we were kept very busy, including bowling. We love chatting to the players and carers during and after the session. One was helping with a raffle for DCF's walking cricket sessions. Come and join us next time!

Tracey and Gwyn met their mates at Monday Mates. After tea, biscuits, two quizzes and a chat, Alex from DCF had them stretching cheerful yellow tapes and then playing clock cricket. We finished with a live music singalong. Why not join us next month for this thoroughly enjoyable session?

Tracey and Gwyn met the cheerful gang at DCF's Parkinson's Cricket. There were eight cricketers, three named R and five not, and all were on form today. I counted 3600 steps recovering the balls! There was a close team game with a score of 11-10 and a lovely friendly chat before and after the session.

New bowlers please

Monday 3rd February

Written by Gwyn Williams

Tracey and Gwyn met the happy crowd at Monday Mates. There were old friends there and they made new friends too. We helped with setup, drinks and biscuits, and with the clock cricket. This time, the bowlers were the group, and they all enjoyed it. After a bit of tidying up, we went on to do a Freedom parkrun.

Let’s get conical

Friday 31st January

Written by Gwyn Williams

Tracey, Gwyn and the happy band came together again to chat and enjoy games, tea and biscuits. The first game was hard, with the players trying to hit cones over a "net" by bowling a ball that insisted on bouncing over everything. A game of boccia and then of cricket brought some relief. We had a lovely talk with the players and the other volunteers over tea.
