From the Archive…

Thanks to Peter Collins these documents have emerged. Mysteriously contained in an envelope marked “Not to be opened until the year 2000” Peter held back until now to reveal a menu from Ember Bowling Club’s 25th Anniversary Dinner and an autographed menu from the 1976 Surrey County BA Presentation Dinner. Different days, but you may recognise a few names…

Work begins on hollow tining the bowls green

Our fantastic greenkeepers start on the green now that the season is over.

Ember Go Top

The Racal-Decca league have published a mid-season table to show Ember leading the pack. But Captain Malcolm Baird sounds a note of caution, pointing out that we have played more matches than anyone else and that with 10 points available for each match a lot can change… So let’s enjoy it while we can and keep the good results going.

Congratulations to Jerry Ingham

It was a normal Monday Night Roll-Up except for the visit of Graham Dawber, the Surrey County Bowling Association’s President, accompanied by Vice-President Derek Harvey and Junior Vice-President Roger Lanham.
They were here to present the prestigious Surrey County Leopard Award to Jerry Ingham in recognition of his many years of service to Ember Bowls Club. Citing Jerry’s many contributions to the wellbeing of the Club, including initiating the beginners courses and evening triples league, President Graham Dawber presented Jerry with his Surrey Leopard blazer flash and certificate. Congratulations Jerry; thoroughly deserved.
