It’s a very full house this afternoon for Christmas with professional chef Suzan taking the reins.
There are rinks free today, so if you want to burn off calories before eating, please do!

We hope everyone has a wonderful time and thank you in advance to all of Suzan’s kitchen elves helping out.

We’re up against King George Field tomorrow in the Challenge Shield.
Play starts at 10:00 with two rinks at Cambridge Park and two at King George Field.
The Shield is now open so some of the ladies are playing for the first time in this competition.
KGF beat Egham in the first round so we are polishing our bowls, pulling up our socks and having an early night in order to be ready for the morning!  (Hope all the team are reading this!)

 

Reg rang today to let us know his hip replacement went very well earlier this week. He is walking up and down the ward and hoping to be home early next week.
Watch out as Reg intends to be back on the indoor green in the new year!

Very Happy Christmas from all of us!

Alas, despite a terrific fight back by Teresa’s team and Ann B getting ahead at the finish and An. h picking up a 6 and Dawn opting to stay 1 down, it resulted in a 79-79 tie at the end of the match.
The extra end fell down to Tricia, Linda, Ange & Dawn. Tricia played a perfect first bowl which unfortunately got knocked off  Ange had a fortunate in-off for shot then the opp 3 nudged between her first and Ange’s bowl for shot  With the angles, it left a shot that maybe only Nick Brett could pull off especially as the opp skip put her first bowl in catching range of the jack. Dawn, not being Nick Brett, missed. We lost by 1. Sorry   I did try!

 

Closer to home and with a vast difference in weather to the Philippines, the girls are out in force this morning in the Regional Semi-Final of the Yetton Plate competition v Mole Valley.

On Friday 6th, a double rink of our lovely Over 60’s ladies are facing Hounslow IBC in the National Mason Trophy.  One team will be at home and one away.  Unfortunately, it does mean that there will only be 3 rinks available for the Friday morning roll up ad the carpet hooevering will need to be delayed until about 1:00 pm.

On Saturday 7th, our ladies are playing in the Regional Semi-final of the Yetton Plate v Mole Valley IBC starting at 10:00 with two rinks at CP and two away.

Supporters and spectators are welcome at all venues and we wish our girls well.  It would be great to get through to the regional finals!
