The green is open this afternoon (23rd) until about 7.00 pm and the Green Team will be putting the green to bed starting tomorrow morning (Tuesday) from about 9.15 am.
Help from other members would be appreciated to lift the ditch mats and other non-heavy tasks.

The current Met Office forecast suggests that this morning’s rain will ease off with a 10% chance of rain from 2.00 pm onwards.
We aim to play bowls if conditions allow so if you have signed up please do come to play or watch and then join in the meal prepared by Dave and Belinda. If bowls is not possible there will be alternative activity in the clubhouse.

Please remember that this will be on Sunday 22nd and not Saturday as in the Fixture Card.

The full fixture list can be viewed in the Short Mat section of the RBC website.
The league teams will be finalised at Captains Day on Sunday. If you haven’t signed up and want to play on a Tuesday/Wednesday afternoon through the closed season then contact Steve Whiting ASAP. You can also ask to be a reserve when teams are short of a player.
Sign up for the Saturday Drive in the clubhouse or call John or Lyn Davison

We have now completed the schedule for both of our internal leagues. Well done to Essex and Wiggie for winning their respective ones. Also many thanks to all the team members and reserves who have played in these matches this season.

As it is getting dark so soon now we would like to start tonight at 6.00 pm if possible. We are trying to get word to all the teams.

Message from Sam:

Here are the Captains’ Day  teams, I hope you like the little twist this year.

Dress code is GREYS

Well done to all the finalists for some excellent bowls on Finals Weekend. Many thanks go to the Competition Secretaries – Lyn Davison and Sam Alan for all the prior organisation and on the day; to the umpires and markers; to the Green Team for keeping the green in such good condition and for sweeping both mornings; and to the many spectators  who helped create a super atmosphere during the matches.

The trophies will be presented at the Club Dinner. Sign up with your menu choices at the Clubhouse. Tickets are priced at £30. Please pay Ann Pannell or Ros Penton if you would like a ticket.

Well done RBC for finishing 3rd in the NDL this year. Our best position in recent years and maybe ever.
