The current schedule is shown below.

One amendment – the Handicap Singles has been rescheduled for Sunday morning.

Any queries to Sam Cates or Lyn Davison please.
Help would be appreciated to sweep/set up the green on both days. We also need more volunteers to mark.

Congratulations to all who have reached a final and many thanks to all the other members who have entered club competitions this year and given us some entertaining matches.
Several members are in multiple finals and it takes a few days to establish the timetable for the finals weekend. Unless we are notified otherwise it is assumed that finalists are available for all sessions on both days. The timetable will be posted in the Clubhouse, on the Club Website and on Facebook as soon as possible.
Sam has kindly offered to provide light lunches on both days (details to follow) and the kitchen and bar will be open for drinks during the day.
Any questions to Sam Cates or Lyn Davison please.

Peter Brownlow and David File of Horley Bowling Club won the Reigate & Banstead Borough Pairs bowls tournament with a score of 21-12 in their final against Rob Stockdale and Ivor Gillespie also of Horley. In the play off for 3rd place Steve Whiting (Redhill) and David Hall (Chipstead) beat Janet Harris and Tony Buckee of Horley 18-7. 12 teams had contested the earlier rounds and 4 teams contested the semi-finals and finals at Redhill BC on a sweltering Bank Holiday Monday.
Well done to Ames Brisley for the organisation and the many helpers from RBC on the day.
Thanks also to Beadles KIA Coulsdon for sponsoring the event and providing a super 1st prize in the raffle won by David Rigg.

RBC completed their NDL fixtures on Sunday 25th August with a comprehensive 10-0 win at home over Old Coulsdon with all three rinks winning by a comfortable margin – giving an overall shots score of 69-32.

RBC are currently 2nd in the table but can be overtaken by Reigate Priory who only need 2 points in their remaining fixture away at Ashtead to do this.

Whatever happens RBC are assured of their best placing in the NDL in recent years – maybe ever? Well done to all who have taken part this year.

All semi-finals need to be played by Sunday 1st September.
If you are the challenger and have not yet contacted your opponent please do this and offer a minimum of two dates for the match.

We are now able to announce that the Club has been donated a defibrillator by Bellway South London – see their press release. Many thanks go to Bellway Homes and to Ros Penton & Ann Pannell – who both worked at the local Bellway Office for many years – for approaching them for support in …

There will be no play tonight due to the prolonged rain.
Could anyone in the league who sees this notice please look at their team schedule and notify those playing tonight.

Area 3 Top 4 Winners were Chipstead 21-14 in a tense final v RBC. RBC had a fine win 21-19 against a strong Caterham side in the morning semi finals but couldn’t repeat this in the afternoon. Fine performances though by Alan Stepney, Brian Styles playing in the first round with Roger Gatland and John Davison. Alex Gaunt and Bryan Gaunt then played with Roger and John in later rounds and the finals. Well done all.

Despite a 9-1 win in our final league match against Horsham Park on 8th August we were unable to overtake Popes Mead for the top spot in Division 2. RBC are promoted to Division 1, with Dorking and Newdigate demoted to Division 2 for next year’s league.
In the Border League Cup Final played at Popes Mead on 10th August congratulations go to Horley who won on both rinks against RBC. Horley retained the cup and topped Division 1 – so well done indeed to them.

Despite losing 8-2 at Reigate Priory on Saturday 10th August we still hold 3rd place in the league. Our best position for several years.
Our final 2 fixtures are both at home – v top team Banstead Neville on Saturday 17th August and v Old Coulsdon on Sunday 25th August.
