Wishing all our Mums that are with us a very Happy Mothers’ Day. Also, having missed International Women’s Day on Friday, we would like to celebrate all of our lady members.
Take the time to thank our Mums for all they have done (or did) to shape us into the women we are today and to raise a glass or mug of something in their honour. Cheers!
OK, so I’m a day late but books are ok for any day of the week.
Anyone read any books that they can recommend to those that read these posts?
I’ve got Tim Spector’s Food for Life on the go as well as one of Richard Cole’s novels about putting a toilet in a church. Great fun read!
How does the Marlow Murder Club (now a series on tv) compare to the Thursday Murder Club?
Jay McGuinness, part of The Wanted/ex Strictly/actor has turned novelist as well and has just released a new fantasy Blood Flowers. Had anyone read that yet?
What about sports books? The Final Innings – cricket – seems to be nearby at home
There’s a good selection of paperbacks at 50p each in the ladies changing room if you fancy a browse in there – Thanks to Margaret B.
From the radio yesterday, I understand that a lot of children dressed up as Joe Wickes to go to school (some looking more like the 118 118 men!)and one school had all the children in pyjamas to encourage bedtime reading.
What about our your grandchildren ? Did they dress up?
From David Hale:
The match between Cambridge Park and Ember made for a very pleasant afternoon of bowls for both sides.
Next friendly is Mothers’ Day v Teddington – another triples.
On 30th March, we play West Ealing and with so many signing up, it’ll give the selectors a combination of good choice and worry about who to put on the subs bench. Better that way round than scrabbling for players.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Ember BC for our annual indoor triples match his afternoon.
Play starts at 2:00.
Good luck to everyone playing!
Hope Ember like the look of our green. Only 2 months until the outdoor season!
If your bowls need re-stamping, or you need deeper grips or re-aligning, then Steve B from Hounslow is going to Pershore Bowls Centre before the outdoor season.

Norman kindly pointed out that neither Teresa nor Dawn’s wrong biases on Monday night had appeared on the blog. So I’m just putting that right!
The previous more common offenders of Norman, Brian N and Laurence kept their games wrong-bias free last night. Hooray!
Anybody else like to hold their hand up and join the Wrong Bias Club?
