Happy Birthday, Norman!

Hope you have a great day including scones, jam and cream or probably cream and jam in your neck of the woods!

Apologies for not posting this earlier in the day.
Hope you’ve had a lovely day with bowling, beer and besties!

Good luck to our chaps in the National Two Fours v Ashford at Ashford this morning. 10:30 start and supporters welcome.
Back at the Club, the Middlesex Ladies have their squad day starting at 9:30 with games both morning and afternoon. Several of the CP girls are playing.
Don’t forget that Bowlswear Direct have their roadshow at the club between 11:00 and 2:00.
Also don’t forget the suncream today!

Good luck to the Ladies playing Grovelands in the Middlesex Double Rink competition on Saturday morning at 10:30. One rink home, one away.
Good luck to the club team playing Mid Surrey in the afternoon in the R&B League.
On Sunday, the men are playing their first National Two Fours at Ashford. Good luck to them.
Cambridge Park host the Middlesex Johns Squad Trial day with several of our girls among the ranks.
Have fun everyone. Take your time on the mat, relax and enjoy!

PS. Weather looks good all weekend!

Not only are the MIddlesex Ladies having their squad trial games, but Bowlswear Direct will be at the Club. They have a wide range of bowls, shoes, clothes and accessories so a great time to stock up and/or replace.

We now have 97 outdoor members. Whoop, whoop – brilliant! Please can you check that you have paid your subs?  Most people have, but a few might not have found the email or it’s gone AWOL in the ether!

If you haven’t, please let Ange know and she’ll pop an invoice over to you.

 

Match sheets for the end of May to the end of June will be up in the clubhouse by Thursday.

Great to see so many names signed up for this week’s Mid Surrey and next week’s Teddington game.

Match selection for the Teddington game will be done next week.

For this Saturday 20th in the RBL Away v Mid Surrey at 2:30,  we have

Shaf, Jacqui, Mike & Gym

Karen, Mark S, George & Laurence

Brian C, Alasdair, Tony O’B & Peter T

with Ray & Roy in reserve.

Laurence is Match Captain.

Well done to David Hale for organising these again.
Wrap up as it’s going to be chilly, although thankfully dry, this week.

1:00 pm for 1:30 start as it’s the first week.

Once everybody has managed to stagger through the Army & Navy Rugby traffic, we had a very enjoyable afternoon in the first Richmond & Barnes League match v Ashford, despite the still heavyish green and cold. ( What happened to the 19c and sun that was forecast in the morning? Jane nearly had to serve soup and hot Bovril instead of beer to warm us up!)

Good to see Reg, Brian C, Graham Kellet, Corale, Tina. Nadine & Jean in our supporters gallery. Thanks

There were wins for Ashford v Ann and Anthony’s rinks but an outstanding 38-7 win for Norman, Laurence, Alasdair & Mike C. If only Laurence hadn’t done a wrong bias, it might have been 39!!

1 point for a winning rink and 1 point for an overall shot win. Cambridge Park managed to pull off the overall win by 64-57 so congratulations to everyone who played. Even the minimal score on our rink contributed!

We hope Anthony’s elbow and Andy’s back aren’t too sore today.

In the National comps, Ashford had a win in the Family Pairs with Mark & Vicki Smith beating Ange & Scott Cumine; and Martin Payne & Lou Putnam beating Tina Cooper & Ashley in the Mixed Pairs having beaten Lucy & Norman the previous weekend.
More Middlesex as well as National comps this week so good luck on and all.
