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
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.

Thanks Dave and your band of merry men/girls!
Meanwhile indoors Olive made a great start to switching to the different surface. It took a few ends (as it did with returning indoor veterans) but she did it!
While on the other rink, Paul was also getting to grips with the less-physical-more-mental idea of delivering a bowl.
We have assured them by mid October they will get used to the pace and not have time to go and make a cup of tea while the bowl is travelling to the other end of the green! (It does feel like that at first. )
There are just two disciplines left at Leamington for Middlesex. The Senior Singles. Attilio from Uxbridge plays this morning and Hannah ( who put out Tina) plays this afternoon.
The Men’s and Ladies Top Club finals are today. Egham ladies are through. Most of the team are familiar to us from indoor comps and county matches, so we wish them well.
Ashford play their final R&B League match today, so we should tonight if it’s us or them playing in the final next Sunday at Mid Surrey
Our friendly v Hurlingham Club has been postponed so the next activity to look forward to is The Crown Green Bowls without a Crown on Monday starting at 10:00.
