Please go to the Members Page to find a letter from the Board concerning the Club’s new playing colours.

The first opportunity to show them off will be at the R&B League match on Saturday 10th May at Cambridge Park v Mid Surrey starting at 14:30.

We had a lot of names for this match which is good for the 12 selected plus reserves.  Please do not be down-hearted if you haven’t been selected for this match.  There are club matches every weekend and you will get a game in the next few weeks.

NPL Leagues start next Monday 12th and the Friday Night Club Leagues start next Friday 16th.

Message from Competition Secretary, Peter C …

Entry Forms for the Club Competitions will be available at the Club from this Friday. 9th May. Closing date including fees Saturday 31st May.

Monday Afternoon Leagues start on Monday 12th May.

Friday Night Leagues start on Friday 16th May.

Karen has advised those who have ordered the new club shirts will be able to collect them from Tuesday onwards. Money payable over the bar to Jane between 10:30-3:30 Monday to Friday.
Outside of those times, please speak to Karen to make a shirt liaison meeting!

Thanks.

Looking forward to stunning the opposition next Saturday!

There are now sign up sheets for the roll ups on the next two Saturdays starting at 2:30 pm; for the first couple of R&B League and Mixed Friendly matches as well as the Middlesex Ladies Double Rink comp.

Please take a look and get your names on the lists!

We haven’t got fixed dates for Men’s or Ladies Top Club, Club Two Fours or Tony Allcock Over 60’s Mixed Fours – those sheets will go up later in the week.

Steve B has finished the Friday Night League schedules and this will go up at the club this week as well as appearing on the website.

Monday Afternoon League details available soon.

If anyone fancies having a go at the moss between the flagstones in front of the club, there are tools at the Club.  There’s about half left to do and it might be easier if the flagstones are wet.  Take gloves to reduce the chance of blisters.  See Tony O’B.

Thanks

IMG_3024 A good morning’s work with mud shuffling to enable the ditch mats to be laid; moss removal (don’t get a pathway with bricks – it looks nice but …); tables and chairs to go out and some mowing and weeding.
Tony O’B masterminded and got his hands dirty along with Alasdair, Jacqui L, Jackie E, Marie, Brian Cu, Barry M, Barry L, Steve B, Don N, Karen, Cathy T, Ann H & Dawn.

Saturday 19th – from 09:30 – help needing getting tables and chairs out, putting mats and rink markers out, light weeding. Tony O’B is looking forward to seeing everyone. Tea/coffee and a drink for the workers! (Bring gloves to protect your hands – you don’t want blisters before the season starts. Practice a few bowling moves at home so your legs get used to bending at the knees again!)

Saturday 26th – green opens hopefully with warm spring weather to boot. Informal roll up starting at 2:00.

Bank Holiday Monday 26th May – Bowls Open Day. – Bring your family, friends and neighbours and let them try out a sport which we love. See Karen for more details.

Congratulations to

Jacqui – Middlesex Ladies Champion.

Tina & Teresa – Middlesex Ladies Pairs Champions.

Tina, Tricia, Mike & Steve – Middlesex Mixed Fours Champions.
