Not sure of the bias on that bowl…

An indent for the Dave channel. Not sure if that bias is strictly legal…
 

Another grand day out!

Continuing our great tradition at Ember Bowls Club of visiting friendlies to far-flung places (in this case Worthing!), we had a fantastic day out at the seaside playing against Marine Gardens Bowls Club. Our hosts were amazing, and we had a great walk along the beach, a slap-up lunch and then a close fought game of bowls before heading off home via the lovely Watermill pub in Dorking for a meal and a few drinks to round off a great day. Thanks to all who helped organise our day out, especially Linda!

Bowls Social Evening

On Saturday Ember hosted a hardy band of bowlers who braved the cold to come down to the clubhouse to listen to music, eat, drink and have a good chat to see what everybody had been up to during the closed season. A great night!
Thanks especially to the members who cooked, organised, manned the bar, washed up, dished out the food and drove out to the takeaway for a lovely Indian curry!

A bowls classic from the archives

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!
