We have all owned a Mobile Phone, PC, Laptop or tablet that has come to the end of its useful life. This may be because it is broken, too old to run the applications we want or, or we've updated it with a shiny new one. Perhaps you've considered selling the item or passing it on to a friend or family member but have you thought about how to properly dispose of all the personal and private data that it holds?

With this data, someone may be able to identify your name, address, friends and family, employment and education history, tax numbers and bank details. In the wrong hands this information could do more than cause you embarassment. It could lose you money or even result in legal issues such as identify theft.

So what can you do?

When you finish using your device it's important to remember to remove your Google or Apple account information and re-set the item back to factory defaults. This should ensure that even if the device is re-used, your data will be gone. PCs and Laptops are a little more complicated. The only way to be sure that nobody can access your data is to remove the hard drive (your local computer shop may be able to help you) and either keep it safe or destroy it with a big hammer!

If this all sounds too complicated there are specialist IT recycling companies who can take these devices off your hands and safely and securely recycle them, ensuring they don't end up in landfill, and permanently destroy your personal data. Visit https://www.byteback.it/

CITY AND PORT OF BRISTOL BOWLING CLUB

Which day of the year do bowlers look forward to most? The answer is ---- the day that the green opens for the new season and this year at the City and Port Club it is --- Monday 11th April.

The green keeper has been hard at work through the Autumn and Winter to create a surface that is good to bowl on and ready for opening day. The 2022 season will see a return to something like normal following two seasons of restrictions caused by the pandemic. More than 40 Mixed Friendly games will be played on Wednesdays and at week-ends from Mid-April until the first week-end in October.

The Monday evening Club League will run with four teams as it did last season and they will once again compete for both the league and the knock out competition trophies. The Bristol Men’s and Ladies Leagues will return to real competition this season with promotion and relegation and presentation of trophies at the end of the season. Leagues did operate in 2021 but on the basis that nobody went up or down and nobody won a trophy.

In addition to competing in the league the men will play in the Gloucestershire Two Rink Competition and the ladies will play in the inter club competition --- one rink played at home and one away with much communicating taking place between clubs at the two greens. A number of individual players within the club will compete in County Competitions --- both Gloucestershire and The City and County of Bristol organised ones --- this coming season. There are more entries this year than in recent previous years. David Hinksman and Carol Green will play in their respective Champion of Champions competitions. David, along with Ken Davies will play in the Gloucestershire four wood singles competition. Ken will partner Bill

The club is keen to increase membership numbers this season and is once again offering free try bowling sessions predominantly on Tuesday evenings but also on other occasions by arrangement. Up to three free sessions are allowed for each new bowler enabling them to have ample time to decide if bowling is the game for them. All equipment is supplied and the club has qualified coaches who will be on hand to offer help and advice. If you would like to arrange a session please call David Hinksman on 07932387217. Sessions will start early in May.

Last season saw children and young people bowling on the green using special small coloured woods. This was very successful and it is hoped to build on it in the season to come. There will once again be sessions for children and young people on Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday evenings from 6pm. The club also hopes to provide sessions for children who come to the School Holiday Activities at the PBA Social and Sports Club once again this year. Two very successful sessions were run last summer. Families will be welcome to come to the sessions for children and young people --- bowling is The Sport for All --- anybody can become a bowler.

The series of Winter season social events continued with a Beetle Drive on February 20th. More than twenty bowlers, family and friends braved a rather stormy Sunday night to play twelve games of Beetle and try their luck on the Tombola Table. Bill Hatherall was Beetle Champion for the second time this winter ---- Mervyn White was runner up.

Thursday April 7th will see the excellent David Salt Big Band playing at the PBA Social and Sports Club for the first time since 2019. They will play traditional dance band music and songs from the shows for two hours starting at 8.30pm. Tickets are available at the Social and

Sports Club or from David Hinksman on 07932 387217 at £6 each ---- this is a show not to be missed.
