Today, Saturday, we take on friends from Masonians starting at 2:00 pm  An afternoon of bowls and fun ahead .

Tomorrow we face Bounds Green in the Middlesex League starting at 11:00 . Two mixed rinks at home and two away  supporters and spectators welcome at both venues

 

 

Thanks to Kevin K, please go to the Calendar page and you can see the forthcoming fixtures, together with the results from when the season started.

Well done to the CP teams who had victories against Teddington last week

Good to see Ron Bavin not only back playing in the team but also being on the top rink with Chris P & Kevin K ! Thanks to Malcolm and Karen who volunteered to play for Teddington

And another win v Ember yesterday.

Special congratulations to Cliff, Brenda and Karen (playing for CP this week and making her debut in a skip position) for getting top rink!

Please sign up for the next friendlies as they are good fun and you get to meet several people from other outdoor clubs.

The new green fee from today is £4:00 for 2 hours and £2:00 for 1 hour.

Work on indoor green, levelling up, new underlay and new carpet starts in September.

Lots of indoor games and club comps to be played before then INCLUDING …

The first round of the Club Triples will all start at 1:00 pm on Saturday 15th using all four rinks. Sandwiches available from 12:00.

Kevin is looking for more players v Masonians next Saturday, 8th March.
Please could you let him know if you can play.  Ring him or the club to get your name down.
It’ll be a good hard fought game even though quite a few of the opposition only play outdoors.
I’m sure Dave P and Andy K will be playing for the opposition!

Indoor Carpet Replacement

After 20 years, the indoor carpet has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced this year, probably in early September (after the wall repairs have been completed).

The cost of this, including remedial work to level the floor in several areas and new underlay, will be in the region of £35,000 plus VAT. While this cost will be amortised over 20 years or so (the expected life of the carpet), we do need to increase our income to pay for it; therefore the board has decided to increase the indoor rink fee, as this is directly linked to use of the indoor green.

The increase will be from £3.50 per 2 hour session to £4, effective 1 March 2025. 1 hour sessions will increase pro-rata to £2.

 

Four mixed rinks are out again tomorrow in the Middlesex League v The Lawns.
Between us, we are both on the extremities of Middlesex!

Good luck to everyone playing.

 

Please check your diaries for the above dates as we are playing v Ember on 2nd March and Masonians on 8th and we need some more players.
March is less than 2 weeks away.
Doesn’t time fly?

Please let Kevin know if you can play and can’t get down to the club in person to sign up.

It was a fun afternoon and the chaps played well winning 3-1. Well done to Di, Ranjani, Marie and Ann H who took top rink for the ladies and Peter J, John E, Scott and Steve G who were the Men’s Top Rink.

 

 

Thanks to David H for the latest results.
