Surrey Champion of Champions, 2021

Jackie Cornwell with her 2019 Ember Champions Trophy

Congratulations to Jackie Cornwell on winning the Surrey County Ladies Champion of Champions Final, which was held at Bletchinly BC on Sunday 15th August.

Jackie beat Sheila Seddon of Milford BC 21-6 in the final of this prestigeous competition between the ladies’ singles champions of all the clubs in Surrey. A truly superb achievement.

Well done, Jackie!  Many congratulations!  We are proud of you!

Jackie will receive the trophy at the Surrey County Women’s Association Annual Dinner on the evening of Friday 22nd October at Tyrells Wood Golf Club. It would be wonderful if Ember players could attend and support both Jackie and Linda Pillman, the Senior Vice-President of SCWBA, who takes over as President at the AGM on 20th November. 

Something to Smile About…

Congratulations to Dick Jones, Linda Pillman, Sylvia Jones & Dave Bardsley on reaching the Final of the NW Surrey Mixed Fours competition. They managed to defeat a strong Oxshott team in what could be described as a ‘game of two halves’ played on a neutral green at Egham BC on Thursday evening. The Finals are to be held at Ashford BC on Sunday 29th August. Supporters will be more than welcome.

It’s Was Only A Shower…

Monday afternoon’s rain put pay to any use of the Green for our usual Club Night. But careful study of these pictures may help you find where favourable runs may be found….

This water will take some time to soak sufficiently below the surface so Pitch Mats must be used for Roll-Ups etc. for the next few days to prevent damage to the playing surface.

Here comes the sun…

Our committee room now has new blinds to complete the lounge like ambience!

The Sun’s Out & The Bowlers are About

Ember’s 2021 season kicked off on Sunday with a full complement of 24 bowlers on the Green. The sun was out, fun was had, Bar service was available (outdoor seating only) and acquaintances re-made after the lockdowns.

Committee Room Refurb
