The horses are slowly arriving at the race course and looking forward to a morning run, some lunch, a rub down then the adrenaline pulsing as they wait to get under starter’s orders at 7:00 pm!
The array of raffle prizes for the draw in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support is amazing. Don’t forget to buy those last minute tickets. You have to be in it to win it!
On Saturday afternoon there is a mixed friendly v Chertsey. No doubt Norman (a former Chertsey bowler) will be winding Peter T up. Maybe the Wirzles will be playing on the background. Play starts at 2:00.
On Sunday it’s the club entries in the National comps where we take on Century at CP. play starts at 10:00 and supporters are very welcome. The bar will be open at 11:30.
After a very good game last night in the National Mixed Fours, Tina, Steve G, Peter T & Dawn went out by 1 shot to James Hill’s Egham team. We were 2 down going into the final end and holding 4, when Jake C’s final bowl of the match fell down into 2nd. Really good game.
More Nationals and L&SC matches will be kicking in as the indoor season gets well under way.
Next weekend, it’s the first round of Yetton v Egham and Denny v Herga comps on Saturday and the Egham Trophy on Sunday. All those weekend matches start at 10:00 with 2 rinks at home and 2 away.
