Some pictures from Ember’s day out at the seaside to play against Marine Gardens Bowls Club.
A great day was had by all, with fish and chips, a stroll down the beach and 6 rinks of play in the afternoon, followed by a slap-up dinner at the Watermill Inn, Dorking, which served up the biggest cheeseboard I’ve ever seen for dessert!
Thank you to our very kind hosts for a lovely day, and for some great games. Ember narrowly lost by 4 points, but it was close! Also thanks to our coach driver Ron, who entertained us on the way there and back.
