It’s the ladies’ turn this morning as they play Egham in the first round of the Vivienne Trophy – four triples – 2 home and 2 away.
It’s the first time we’ve entered this in over 10 years, so let’s hope we get off to a good start!
Supporters and spectators welcome at both venues.
Elvis hasn’t entered the building yet but he will be swinging by on
Saturday 9th December at 7:00 pm
in the second Night with Elvis raising funds for Cancer Research,
organised by Peter & Gill Chapman.
If last year’s event is anything to go by, the tickets should sell fast
as everyone had such a great time!
£12 gives you entrance and food. Bingo will cost extra.
So don’t be lonesome on the 9th. Come and gaze at the bald heads and wish they had hair. Don’t be cruel though.
It’ll be an evening with a little less conversation because
you’ll be rocking around the clubhouse.
It won’t be a blue, blue Christmas because you’ll be always on our minds and no one can help falling in love with you or a Hound Dog!
Book your tickets now, It’s now or never!
This morning there’s the Over 60’s Men’s Double Rink v Herga. One rink home, one away. Supporters and spectators very welcome!
Good luck to our chaps. We’re expecting a win of course!
Well done to Mike & Tina on winning the their National Mixed Pairs against Ann H & Peter J in the first round.
Yesterday morning, Steve G, Ian D, Graham D & Dave P went down to the Egham Four – Mark, Luke, Joe & Matt – in the London & Southern Counties Single Rink Competition.
However, in the afternoon, the CP team led by Match Captain David Hale scored a 115-36 win over Bishop Duppas with a win on all four rinks! Top rink led by Steve G, so that might have made up a bit for the morning’s defeat.
Good to see new-to-Cambridge Park Andy K skipping another of our successful rinks.
Thanks to all who played and to Jane behind the bar for a very enjoyable afternoon.
Having a wander around Richmond and like to take a break and watch some bowls?
At 10:00, Steve G, Dave P, Ian D & Graham D take on an Egham Four in the 1st round of the London & Southern Counties Single Rink.
At 2:00, the Club are playing a Mixed Friendly v Bishop Duppas – 4 rinks.
Plenty to watch!
Yesterday, the ladies went out to a very strong Egham team in the Yetton Trophy. Well done to Teresa, Ange, Frances and Tricia – our top and only winning rink. You did us proud! Good luck to Egham in the next round.
Talking of Egham, the ladies are up against them on Thursday morning 9th in the National Vivienne Trophy. This is the first time we’ve entered this competition for years. Four triples, two at home and two away starting at 10:00.
Whilst on Tuesday 7th, the Men are playing their National Over 60’s Double Rink v Herga (wow, not Egham!). One rink home and one away starting at 10:30.
As usual, supporters and spectators are welcomed by our teams. Teas/coffees available and the bar will be open at lunchtime as usual.
Once again for the umpteenth year (!), we are facing Egham in the 2nd round of the National Yetton Trophy, playing on Saturday morning. Two rinks will be at home and two at Egham.
Good luck to all the girls playing!
Well done to Dave P & Joyce from Hounslow who beat Peter T & Dawn in the National Mixed Pairs last night. Only 1 shot in it going into the final end. Dave played a cracker of a bowl to nudge Dawn’s shot bowl out and Peter’s running bowl decided to take the skinny pathway!. Oh drat! One day we’ll beat Dave P & his various partners!
Good luck to Dave & Joyce in the next round.
Take care when you go out. Many gutters are full and anyone walking or cycling by are quite likely to get soaked!
Sou’westers, thigh-high wellingtons, windscreen wipers on your spectacles are the orders for the day or, alternatively, shorts and t-shirt … as your skin will dry quicker than clothes!
Tea/coffee/soup/Christmas adverts which have just broken might be a distraction!
Anyway, we hope you all stay safe and dry and keep an eye on your neighbours
The fixture list is now up on the calendar page. There will be tweaks as the weeks go along depending on National competition results
Thanks to Bob D for taking on the role.

Belated happy birthday to Ranjani V & Richard D for yesterday. We hope you both enjoyed cake and maybe bowls!
Don’t forget the clocks go back tonight so we get an extra hour in bed. Hooray!
For those of you playing against Hounslow in the National Egham Trophy, don’t turn up at 09:00 old time just get there for 09:30 new time at your respective venues!
Good luck and both venues welcome supporters.
Alas, we were unable to beat Hounslow but Steve G, Ian D, Frances D & Ann B had a terrific win on their rink and Peter T, Jacqui, Barry & Teresa made an excellent comeback and lost by just one little shot in the final couple of ends.
Good luck to Hounslow in the next round.
We’re looking forward to playing Chertsey this afternoon in our first home friendly fixture.
I’m sure Norman will be winding his former club members up for the afternoon of bowls and banter as The Wurzels sing out.across the green!
Match starts at 2:00 pm. Not 2:30 – that’s outdoor start time!
Bar will be open for supporters and spectators
