Green Closure – 19th September

In respect to the late Queen the green will be closed ALL day on Monday 19th September, the day of the funeral.

Friendly bowls matches this week will continue as planned with a moments silence before we start. It would be appropriate if players wore black arm bands but we realise that they are not easy to come by at this time.

We will be moving the Club Night to Tuesday 20th, starting at 5:30pm.

Bowls Finals Day Pics – Day #2

What a way to end our bowls finals weekend at Ember! The day started with the Coronation Cup in the morning and Egham beating Raynes Park. The morning also saw Jim Byrne win the non-winners and Tony Baker and Roy Barton the Open Pairs Handicap.

The afternoon games kicked off with a heavyweight championship match that saw Malcolm and Jenny Baird win on the last bowl of the last end against Tony and Mary Baker in the “Bairds vs. Bakers” Mixed Pairs Championship. A truly epic game and well done to both the Bakers and Bairds for making it such a great contest!

In the ladies final, Sylvia Jones beat Beth Cartledge in a well fought match of skill and tactics, while Dick Jones was deservedly crowned the Men’s Champion after beating Stuart Chalmers 21-16 in a well played and close tactical game.

Finally, thanks to everyone who took part, organised the competitions, did bar duty, baked cakes, made teas and lunches, put up/put away tables and chairs, kept the green in tip-top shape, washed up and cheered on our finalists. You all made it a brilliant weekend – see you next year!
