Barry Martyn will run the next drive tomorrow (Monday), As Barry is not available, David Rigg has volunteered to run the drive on Wednesday and will also run one on Friday (our last day open this season). Get there by 3.45 pm for a 4.00 pm start.
Only Rinks 1-3 are available so numbers are limited. David says “12 is maximum either 4 teams of triples on 2 rinks or 6 teams of pairs on 3 rinks – I will decide on the day”.
Three singles, two pairs and a triples, drawn from each club’s fun competitions, competed on a bright and breezy afternoon. Redhill won 4-2 with Horley winning a 4 wood singles and the 2 wood singles. Overall shots scored were Redhill 115 Horley 80.
Well done to the players from both sides, the organisers and helpers who helped make it a very enjoyable afternoon despite the COVID-19 restrictions!
After consultation with the short mat organisers, and in view of the current COVID-19 restrictions, the Emergency Team has decided that it is not advisable to commence any short mat activities at present.
This is obviously very disappointing to all participants but the safety of our members must be protected as far as possible.
We will keep this under review.
It was agreed at the Emergency Team virtual meeting last evening that the green would remain open for bookable sessions until Friday 25th September.
From Monday 21st September only Rinks 1 to 3 in the East-West direction are to be used. This will enable the Green Team to commence their end-season activities on the other rinks.
Many thanks to our Green Stewards for giving their time to do this essential task. This has given those members wanting to enjoy some bowls the opportunity. Over 250 bowls sessions will have taken place this season.

Listen up folks. I am organising two informal drives for members who want some friendly competitive bowls. This will be pairs or triples depending on numbers – with teams drawn out of the hat. These will be held at 4.00 pm on Monday 14th and Wednesday 16th Sept (not Thursday as I suggested this afternoon). Normal Covid-19 precautions will apply. Let me know by phone or Facebook comment or Messenger asap if you are interested so I can book the rinks. Regards, Barry Martyn
