On Saturday Ember hosted a hardy band of bowlers who braved the cold to come down to the clubhouse to listen to music, eat, drink and have a good chat to see what everybody had been up to during the closed season. A great night!
Thanks especially to the members who cooked, organised, manned the bar, washed up, dished out the food and drove out to the takeaway for a lovely Indian curry!

The whole family can take part in this easy walk with a Murder Mystery theme. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in November. Come along to the clubhouse for soup and crusty bread to fortify you before you set off. The circular walk will have you looking for clues in the places you visit, which will lead you to the identity of the Ember Sports Club murderer!
When you get back you can reward yourselves with tea and cakes. There will be prizes for all the successful sleuths. Bring friends and family – the more the merrier.
A great evening’s entertainment held at our clubhouse on the 21st August in aid of a great cause, the Joel Community Trust.

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.

The bowls section’s yearly challenge match against the rest of Ember Sports Club took place this week, showing the other sections what a great game bowls is!
This year some keen croquet, drama, social and tennis members became bowlers for the night to ‘have a go’ and enjoy some friendly club rivalry.
A great time was had by all, with fish and chips and a few light ales to round off the evening.
See you all again next year for the re-match!
