AGM

A fine evening for the Ember Sports Club AGM…

Tennis Drills

Ember’s free Thursday evening tennis drills continue through the year (6:45pm) – let coach Rob Blundell know if you would like to come along!

Fun in the sun…

Our newly refurbished club house and bar looking good in the sun. Ready for all you thirsty bowls/tennis/croquet folk!

New look committee room!

“During this last lockdown ESC has been making further progress on clubhouse refurbishment. Tennis section member Paul Fielding has decorated our committee room, which also now has new tables in readiness for when we can finally open!”

Getting the word out!

Let us know if you see any of our members out and about displaying their brand new Ember Sports Club car stickers!

New Shuttering

Assisted by a generous #SurreyMCA grant, sponsored by Cllrs Peter Szanto & Nick Darby, Ember Sports Club has new security shutters, replacing the broken ones.

Once we can re-open the bar, we invite members & their guests to celebrate this attractive new installation by Tri Door!

Mike Lambert

We are extremely saddened to report our dear friend, Mike Lambert, passed away yesterday morning. Mike has been an active member of the Croquet section from the early days and has contributed so much to the club, in terms of volunteering as well as his croquet knowledge, and of course, his great sense of fun and companionship. We will miss him hugely.

Given the current restrictions, there will be a small family funeral, but there are plans for a memorial service sometime in the Autumn.

We hope to post an obituary in the next few days.

Clubhouse Refurbishment Update

We are delighted to announce that we shall soon receive a grant under the Members’ Community Allowance funding scheme of Surrey County Council, towards the cost of our new security shutters. This has been made possible by the generous sponsorship of Councillors Peter Szanto and Nick Darby.

Over the coming months, following approval by the recent Management Committee meeting, we shall be implementing this project, together with new flooring and internal doors, as well as considering what additional projects we may be able to undertake, including new seating and lighting.
