Thanks to all who came along and had a great meal and social evening at Ember last night! The Shuffleboard proved to be especially popular.
A great thanks must go to Linda for organising and creating such amazing food, and to Adam and all the team who helped organise such a great evening.
“Excuse me, there are spare mallets available for everyone: definitely no flamingos required”
Stroll up to the Ember Croquet lawns from 2pm on Easter Sunday and try your skills with ball and mallet
Croquet is a game for everyone, male or female, young and old alike, a game of skill and strategy rather than strength and agility. Join us for an afternoon of fun amongst our friendly bunch of enthusiasts
Can’t make it Easter Sunday?
We play every Sunday afternoon weather permitting, when you are welcome to come and have a go and see if croquet is for you

“Run For Your Wife” is our next production and will be directed by Steve Clunn for performance in April.
Ray Cooney’s much – acclaimed fast moving farce tells of John Smith a London Cabbie with his own taxi, a wife in Streatham, a wife in Wimbledon – and a knife-edge schedule!
By keeping to this schedule he has managed to be a successful if not tired bigamist for the last three years.
One day he gallantly intervenes in a mugging and is taken to hospital with mild concussion. In the ensuing complications, aided by an unwilling Stanley, John tries bravely to cope with a succession of well-meaning but prying policemen, the press and two increasingly irate wives. He eventually manfully confesses the truth – but will anyone believe him!

Thanks to Peter Collins these documents have emerged. Mysteriously contained in an envelope marked “Not to be opened until the year 2000” Peter held back until now to reveal a menu from Ember Bowling Club’s 25th Anniversary Dinner and an autographed menu from the 1976 Surrey County BA Presentation Dinner. Different days, but you may recognise a few names…
An indent for the Dave channel. Not sure if that bias is strictly legal…

Ladies Day 17th – 19th November inclusive
Our November production at the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse in Walton is Ladies Day.
Elaine Sesemann is doing a fantastic job in her directing debut and rehearsals are going really well.
The play is a delightful heart warming comedy which looks at the lives of 4 Yorkshire women (Pearl, Shelley, Jan and Linda) who work in a fish processing factory in Grimsby. Pearl is about to retire and lets slip that she has always wanted to go to Royal Ascot, Ladies Day which happens to be at York racecourse in 2005 when our play is set.
At the racecourse, chance encounters with lost purses, TV announcers, jockeys and lost loves allows an insight into the regrets, hopes and shattered dreams of the women who are all searching for a better and more fulfilling life than the dull lives they actually lead. It is a bitter sweet, poignant modern fairy tale which will leave the audience with a smile on their faces and tears in their eyes, and all the better for having met Pearl, Linda Shelley and Jan!
The Box Office will open at 9am on Saturday 15th October. Ticket price is £13 and the performance dates are Thursday 17th, Friday 18th and Saturday 19th November at 8pm.
Venue: at the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, Hurst Grove, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12 1AU.
The online booking address is www.ticketsource.co.uk/emberplayers
