Cambridge Park are proud to host the first inter-county Johns Trophy match with Middlesex Ladies taking on Sussex.
6 full rinks. Spectators and supporters welcome for both teams.
Some of the Cambridge Park girls will be playing and representing Middlesex so won’t be available to help around the Club.
Please see Karen if you can give a hand at all throughout the afternoon even if it’s just for a hour.
There will be 60-65 players and officers in attendance to what should be a cracking game. If you can offer to make teas/ coffees from midday onwards, set tables for the meal as well as make everyone welcome, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1. Deadline for entries is Saturday. Please get your pens out and sign up. Peter C needs more entires in order for comps to run.

Alas, the Ladies didn’t make it first past the post on Saturday in the Middlesex Double Rink. Still, it frees up next Saturday morning for getting some extra comp matches in!

On the other hand, the Men won their Club Two Fours v Ashford A on Sunday morning. Well done!

Yesterday also had good results with the Open Day being well attended by both members and visitors. Good to see so many out on the green.

This week, Karen is playing in her first County match of the year at Bush Hill Park. Other CP members are also playing.

On Wednesday, several of our girls are playing in the Middlesex Pairs and on Thursday, the Men are playing West Ealing in the National Top Club at 6:00. Supporters very welcome.

There was a good turn out for the Open Day today with ages ranging from about 5 to 75 having a go!

Julian, Karen, Scott, Tony O’B, Brian LM, and others were keeping an eye on the adults and giving guidance whilst Ange had the youngsters playing with the Bowls Buddies sets of soft (but biased) bowls aiming at assorted targets. Definitely some potentially talented bowlers amongst the visitors. There was a lot of laughter and cheers when bowls landed close to the jack!
Peter J was looking after the bar and Jacquie came to the club before heading off to Strawberry Hill and Teddington to see how they were doing with their Open Days before returning to help at CP. Marie came along as well.
A group of members also attended and played in the rinks alongside.
Well done and thanks to everyone who worked so hard before, during and after the event.

Thanks to Steve B for the first league table after two rounds.

This morning our girls play Brentham in the County Double Rink competition.
One rink at the club, the other at Brentham with play starting at 10:00. Supporters and spectators welcome at both venues. Good luck!

Ann, who plays outdoors for Bishop Duppas and indoors at Cambridge Park, was awarded her Middlesex (outdoors) Colts Badge yesterday in the friendly v Hampshire at Ashford BC. Ann was on the President’s rink that won by 2 shots.
Alas, the County lost overall by 2 shots.
Sue H from North London was awarded her full County Badge.
Congratulations to both!

The National Club Two Fours v Ashford takes place on Sunday morning at the Club.

Do come down and support the team – all men on this occasion!  Play starts at 10:00.

Unfortunately, due to this match and quite a few people have decided to go away for the weekend, the friendly v Hampton on Sunday afternoon has had to be cancelled.

Karen will be setting up for the Open Day so if anyone from CP or Hampton would like to come down and roll up, you’ll be very welcome.

Congratulations to:

Elaine G, Jean S, Peter J & Dave P and

Tina C, Dawn S, Norman & Steve G

on their win in the first round of the Tony Allcock Over 60’s Mixed Double Rink v Ashford. Good wins on both rinks!

Competitions later this week:

Thursday – Middlesex Ladies Fours – assorted venues

Saturday – National Ladies Top Club v Brentham, Away
