Some more from the Ember Archives, this time from the bowls section. Some photos showing that formal dress isn’t always adhered to on the green, and that someone must have changed the signs on the changing rooms doors as the men and ladies seem to have swapped kit!
Some photos from Ember’s Christmas carol singing afternoon. Thanks to everyone for attending and all the work put in to organising the event. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at Ember – See you in 2018!
Get ready to re-live those old memories – we’ve collected from the archives some of the photos from yesteryear from across the Drama, Tennis, Croquet and Bowls sections. We’ll be posting them up here soon, but for now, here’s a taster. Recognise any faces from years gone by?
A great evening of board games (with some excellent food) at Ember Sports Club tonight. Well done to Ken Homewood’s team for winning! Click on any of the images to see a larger version.
Stay tuned for more infomation on “Ladies in Lavender” by Shaun McKenna at Hepworth Playhouse – 16th to 18th November 2017 inclusive.

For the second part of this look at our competition results at Ember Bowls Club, I had a look at the pairs and triples. This was a bit more tricky, as there aren’t as many winning pairs or triple teams that continue in the same pairs or triples formation, so the data is a bit ‘flat’.
What I did instead was analyse how many times an individual person had appeared in a winning side in the competition. Here’s the findings!
I’ve also not included every winner, as there are lots of people who’ve won it once and it made the charts unreadable. I’ve just included the top sets.
There are five people who have been in winning teams 3 times – M. Wragg, Malcolm Baird, A. Condon, Jenny Baird, P. Reader and Ron Pintus.
This cup was not played from 1984-1987, and in 2004, 2005 and 2016.
The evening league cup has a leader in Sally Haddingham, who’s been part of a winning side four times!
The showpiece cup competition run by Ember has been won by Ember ten times, with local neighbours Esher coming a close second with eight wins.
An interesting one! L. Thorogood is tied with Val Chicken on 9 each.
Another interesting one – the Eric and June Dean cup was originally the Knight Cup/Married Pairs Handicap and ran from 1968-2002, before becoming the Invitation Mixed Pairs in 2003.
P. Thorogood and Mrs. L Thorogood were part of a winning side 6 times, with the combo of D. Chester and M. Chester, and Val Chicken and John Garland being part of their respective cup-winning sides 5 times each.
