Karen is organising Roll up this Sunday morning from 10:00-12:00

Come along and try out our faster playing surface. You’ll need to take more green than you did at this time last week!

Tomorrow, we start our Middlesex League matches for this season.
First opponents are Glebelands. Supporters welcome at both venues.

As there was a query as to why the 18.3 secs seems slower than our previous 17 secs, here’s Henselite’s explanation.

Well done to the Over 60’s Ladies yesterday who had a good win over Hounslow.
Next round is Friday 5th December v Egham starting at 10:00.  The girls will need one rink which will mean Friday’s roll up will be reduced to 3 rinks. Thanks for accommodating us.

This morning we played Egham in the Yetton Trophy. It was reasonably close after the first 5 ends, but the opposition playing at CP stepped up another gear in the latter half of the game opening a wide gap in scores. Well done to Carol deH on her Yetton debut

Away at Egham, again the first third of the match was fairly even on both rinks. Well done to Tina, Miranda (debut game for CP), Ange & Dawn who only lost by a couple of shots. And well done to Ladies Captain Karen G who looked to be having a nip and tuck battle with Egham’s lead!

Tomorrow Friday, the Over 60’s (although they don’t look it) will be taking to the Green v Hounslow at 10:00. One rink home and one away.
Sorry that it encroaches on the Friday roll up but dates and times of National Team comps are fixed across the country.

On Saturday morning, the all-age Ladies take to the green on the Yetton Trophy v Egham at 10:00.
Two rinks at home and two away for this and we will have our work cut out!
Supporters very welcome on both Friday and Saturday.

Rinks are closed on Wednesday lunchtime after the morning roll up as the carpet has its first stretch which should mean the Wednesday evening league players should notice a difference in speed as their bowls head down the green!

Rinks open again at 6:00

The updated Fixture List is now on the Calendar page.  Copy below for quick ref.

(13th December – London & Southern Counties Challenge Shield is Mixed not just men!)

Social Events:

Saturday 20th December – Christmas Lunch (£20) at 3:00 – sign up sheet on the noticeboard

Starting at 10:00, we play Egham in the National Top Club. Supporters very welcome.  Their team has some brilliant bowlers including internationals but we will do our best to give them a run for their money. We shall endeavour to be on our A game.

Well done to Peter J who held the CP flag aloft in the Men’s 2 Bowls Singles  with a win and Tina who only just lost to Yaz

There will be a 2 minute silence at 11:00 as the Remembrance Day parade is going ahead in Central London with Andy H yet again marching alongside former comrades as well as hundreds of veterans  to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.

 

In the afternoon, we have a mixed friendly v West Surrey BA starting at 2:00. Again, supporters will be very welcome.
