Rink Booking Emails

I gather some of you are not getting a confirmation email when you bookings a rink and, as a result, you can’t cancel a booking if you need to.

If you are having problems, please send Dawn a note on enquiries@cambridgeparkbowlsclub.com

We need to try and ascertain whether it affects specific emails e.g hotmail, yahoo, sky, ntlworld, btinternet or blueyonder etc

Does it make any difference if you email from a mobile or laptop?

Thanks

Dawn

World Bowls 2026

The Ambassador Cruise Line World Bowls Tour 2026 got under way today.
Sammy Tindell & Jon Wilson (Egham) made their debut on the portable green tonight comfortably winning their opening Pairs match. Well done. Great start!

You can keep up with live streaming and playbacks on YouTube. Search for World Indoor Bowls Championship 2026.

If you book an Ambassador cruise, there’s also a promotion code to gain you a discount.

This Weekend – Mixed Friendlies

Tomorrow we take on Masonians in a mixed friendly and on Sunday, it’s Chertsey.
Both opposition clubs will have players who also play indoors at CP, so there will be friendly rivalry and banter between the bowls!

Both matches start at 2:00 and spectators/ supporters are welcome.

The club competitions are well on their way so make sure you book the rinks you need. If you have to cancel, there’s a link on the bottom of the confirmation email you received.

We still have players in both National and County comps, so good luck to everyone playing.

Watch Your Step!

Having done a 180 degree spin turn on the ice walking out of my front gate this morning, this just a warning to be careful especially when it’s dark. Last night’s rain has frozen up!

Advice over the airwaves is to “ walk like a penguin” ie Feet at 10 to 2, knees slightly bent and take small steps.
It may look odd but if it saves a broken wrist/collar bone/hip, it would be worth it

 

Message from Reg H

Not the best start to 2026 as Reg had a fall just after Christmas leaving with a broken femur and hip.
‘Plucky’ is his middle name. He’s never been one to sit around and isn’t going to start now!  He has been walking with his frame around the ward and will be discharged home this week.
Help is at hand in the form of his granddaughter who will be looking after him for few weeks.
He wishes everyone a Happy New Year and looks forward to joining us for his mid week lager soon (but will wait until it warmer and less icy. )
