Starting at 10:00, we play Egham in the National Top Club. Supporters very welcome. Their team has some brilliant bowlers including internationals but we will do our best to give them a run for their money. We shall endeavour to be on our A game.
Well done to Peter J who held the CP flag aloft in the Men’s 2 Bowls Singles with a win and Tina who only just lost to Yaz
There will be a 2 minute silence at 11:00 as the Remembrance Day parade is going ahead in Central London with Andy H yet again marching alongside former comrades as well as hundreds of veterans to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.
In the afternoon, we have a mixed friendly v West Surrey BA starting at 2:00. Again, supporters will be very welcome.
On Saturday, the Men play Hounslow in the Denny Plate. Two rinks home, two away starting at 10:00. Supporters welcome at both venues.
On Sunday, it’s the Egham Mixed Trophy also v Hounslow with two rinks at home and two away starting at 10:00. Again supporters welcome at both venues.
On Sunday 9th, we play Egham in the second round of the Top Club having beaten (just) Hounslow in the first round. There seems to be a theme here.
On another note ….
Apologies for the recent lack of posts. It was Duncan’s funeral last Friday so ‘normal’ things took a back seat.
Thank you to everyone who came along. It was both overwhelming and humbling how many came to give him a good earthly send-off as well as giving support to Alistair, Cameron and myself. Thanks to all have donated to The Ruth Strauss Foundation in Duncan’s memory. So far, there is over £2,000 to go and support children who have lost a parent to non-smoking-related lung cancer as well as research as to why non-smokers are falling foul to this disease.
Ruth Strauss was the wife of former international cricketer Andrew Strauss. It was the cricketing link that drew Duncan to the charity.

Cambridge Park is proud to host the home 3 rinks of the Middlesex v Kent Over 60’s Liberty Trophy match tomorrow (Tuesday 21st)
Play starts at midday.
Spectators and supporters welcome.
Well done to David Hale for sorting out our league schedules.
Updated league rules for the start of the season – note there are no ‘spots’ yet as we have to wait until the carpet is stretched in November.

Thanks
