A great night (albeit with some rain) to be playing in the bowls evening league.
Croquet came to Ham House in S.W. London on a sunny June weekend, as Jaques of London held two of their Family Fun days there in conjunction with the National Trust. Along with other outdoor games, five short lawns were laid out for croquet and lots of people, with lots of children, came to have a go. Members of Ember Croquet Club, Esher joined Ben Jaques and his son Tom in providing instruction and assistance, which were eagerly welcomed
Faint hopes of finding new club members were dashed as so few of the visitors were local, but helpers found sufficient reward from the enthusiasm of the mostly novice players and the congenial surroundings, marred only by the house being shrouded in scaffolding. At a time when there has been talk of croquet ‘croaking’ by 2037, it was an opportunity to help maintain public awareness of the game, and perhaps even spark a germ of interest here and there in the next generation of potential players.
The summer B.B.Q. will be in The Club Garden on Saturday 22nd August. Bring your own meat / fish /veggie burger to cook on the coals.
The salads and desserts will be ready and waiting for you. £5 is the usual charge for the evening.
It would be helpful for the catering to have some idea if you are hoping to come. For info or to let us know you’re coming, email derek.beaney4@ntlworld.com

A classic from the archives for a Sunday morning – David Bryan vs. Philip Chok from the 1980 world indoor bowls championship finals. What a match!

Some pictures from Ember’s day out at the seaside to play against Marine Gardens Bowls Club.
A great day was had by all, with fish and chips, a stroll down the beach and 6 rinks of play in the afternoon, followed by a slap-up dinner at the Watermill Inn, Dorking, which served up the biggest cheeseboard I’ve ever seen for dessert!
Thank you to our very kind hosts for a lovely day, and for some great games. Ember narrowly lost by 4 points, but it was close! Also thanks to our coach driver Ron, who entertained us on the way there and back.
