The whole family can take part in this easy walk with a Murder Mystery theme. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in November. Come along to the clubhouse for soup and crusty bread to fortify you before you set off. The circular walk will have you looking for clues in the places you visit, which will lead you to the identity of the Ember Sports Club murderer!
When you get back you can reward yourselves with tea and cakes. There will be prizes for all the successful sleuths. Bring friends and family – the more the merrier.
Ember Bowls Club will be holding their showpiece event, the Bowls Finals weekend, on the 5th and 6th of September!

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 bowls section’s yearly challenge match against the rest of Ember Sports Club took place this week, showing the other sections what a great game bowls is!
This year some keen croquet, drama, social and tennis members became bowlers for the night to ‘have a go’ and enjoy some friendly club rivalry.
A great time was had by all, with fish and chips and a few light ales to round off the evening.
See you all again next year for the re-match!
