Message from John Davison:-

With today’s cancellation (first this season) here is the final table. Many thanks to all who have played this season and to the Team Leaders for organising their schedules. I hope you all enjoyed taking part.

Please note that the match scheduled for Saturday, 12th September has been cancelled.

A barbeque is being planned for Captains Day on Sunday 13th September, with food being provided (no cost) by the club from around 4.30ish.

This is open to all members and extended family, we would encourage a charitable donation from non-members.
A WhatsApp Poll has been set up so we can gauge numbers.

Anyone who has voted on WhatsApp to come to the Captains’ Day BBQ and wishes to play in the Frank Hall Trophy bowls should add their name to Rink Dairy/Teams if not there already. This will help the Captains to organise line ups beforehand.

Further to our our post of 19th August, Bert Stevens has advised that Pauline’s funeral will be held at the Surrey & Sussex Crematorium, Balcombe Road, Crawley at 11.45 a.m.on Tuesday, 29th September.

The wake after the funeral is for close family only.

The Green Team intend to cut the Green on Sunday morning and has requested a half hour delay to the start of play due to current conditions. This has been agreed by the Competition Secretaries. The morning session will now start at 10.30am.
The afternoon schedule will now start at 2.30pm to give those playing in both sessions the same scheduled break.

Defeat for both the Essex and Sussex Teams yesterday meant that Essex are confirmed as the 2026 Champions in our internal league. Well done to all who played for Essex this season. Hampshire and Sussex play each other on the final week (8th Sept) to decide 2nd place.
