Ember is a very active club that provides its membership with opportunities to enter and compete against fellow bowlers throughout the area in a variety of external competitions.
The Surrey County Bowling Associations run County Competitions for both Men and Ladies in Fours, Triples, Pairs and Singles. Ember enters several players in most events. Currently 13 club members have been awarded their County badge.
Ember Ladies also enter a team in the regional inter-club Louisa Smith Two-Wood Triples League, which is played on Monday and Tuesday evenings. In recent seasons Ember has performed well and in 2009 won the event for the second time. In 2010 they finished in 3rd place by winning the play-off between the two losing semi-finalists. In 2009 the Ladies also reached the semi-final of the Surrey Top Club event and their Champion reached the last 16 of the National Champion of Champions competition.
Ember is affiliated to
the North West Surrey Bowling Association and enters a team in the Friday
evening Men’s Double Rinks League, where we usually finish in the top four
places. We also have a team in the top division of the Thursday evening Mixed
League and have been winners four times in recent years.
The North West Surrey BA also runs individual competitions in ten events:
Singles, Pairs and Triples for both Men and Ladies and Mixed Pairs, Triples,
Fours and Unbadged Singles. These events are well supported and Ember players
won both the Ladies’ and Men’s Singles and the Mixed Fours events in 2008,
the Men’s and Mixed Triples in 2009 and the Men’s Pairs and the Mixed Triples
in 2010.
In 2008 we joined the Racal
Decca 3 Rink Mixed League. Matches are played throughout the season against
a number of local clubs and Ember were champions in both 2008 and 2009.
Ember runs the popular Men’s Coronation Triples event for local clubs. Matches
are played on Sunday mornings and the competition has been staged every year
since 1953, the year of the Queen’s coronation. We are current holders of
the trophy having won the competition in 2010
We regularly enter the Men's and Ladies’ National Club competitions. In addition
teams have been entered for the Surrey Heathfield Double Rinks, the Men's
Surrey Top Four and the Surrey Ladies’ Benevolent Triples competitions.
Ember has their own popular internal Evening Mixed Triples League with teams
selected on a handicap basis. We also run sixteen different club competitions
each year, some on a handicap basis. All finals are held over the first complete
weekend in September and are always very well supported. More details of our
