Please come and enjoy an evening of party games and quiz – prizes are up for grabs as well as a raffle.
Any Christmas cakes ordered through Nikki will also be available for collection.
Everyone welcome – members, family & friends.
This year’s annual Presentation Luncheon went well with a full complement of trophies presented and even more raffle prizes won! Thanks to all for the arrangements and help on the day. We missed our Club President, Tom, but perhaps not his jokes! We wish him well.
All this year’s winners have had their name(s) added to the trophies (with one exception, oops!) as well as those from the reduced programme we ran in 2020. The Honours Boards have also been updated and will be available for viewing, perhaps in the main hall, in the coming months.
This year’s Club Trophy was awarded to John Nutt for his sterling work on the garden and overall help and support around the club and green.
The Monday Evening league was won by The Firers – Richard Moxon, Barry Frankson, Tony Latchford and Karen & Alan Pilkington,
The Friday Triples league was won by The Swifts – Brian McKone, Bob Levi, Alison Nabil and Eileen & Roger Leatherby.
Our next event is the Xmas social on Tuesday 7th December at 7:30pm – a mix of games and quiz .. all are welcome .. members, friends & family.
The green received a haircut at the weekend, not something it usually gets at this time of year!

Whether you have to drive on it or just walk on it, the car park can be treacherous at the best of times! Please support the efforts to get the car park resurfaced and share as widely as you can in order to support this initiative from the Cricket Club.
Dear Member
We desperately need to get the car park resurfaced. We are applying for a grant from Surrey, but we need your support to prove it’s a real and required project. This will take you 45 seconds if that.
The green was put to bed for another season over the weekend of 2-3 October. It was inevitable that rain curtailed some topdressing but this can wait for a dry spell. The hedges were also cut back during the week.
As they’ve proved popular in previous years, Nikki will be taking orders for homemade Christmas cakes at Tuesday’s social.
One last item of news .. we’ve been informed that the main club will be without power on Thurs 28th October due to some essential electrical work.
The first of the winter social evenings kicks off on Tuesday 5th October at 7:30pm with an evening of cards. The bar will be open and Alan Cordery will be our compere as he guides us through “Slippery Anne”.
It’s played like whist and the object of the game is to avoid winning tricks that contain Hearts or the Queen of Spades (all cards have a zero points value apart from these!)
ORDER OF PLAY
1) There will be 4 players on each table.
2) The first card dealer deals all of the cards (13 cards each).
3) Each player selects three of their cards and passes them (face down) to the player on their left.
4) The game starts with the player on the left of the dealer laying the first card and continues clockwise round the table.
5) After all cards have been played each player adds up all of the Hearts and the Queen of Spades they have collected and writes the score on their score sheet.
6) The player to the left of the previous dealer now starts the next game. Scores are added up as before.
7) After four games have been played the two players with the highest total scores will move up to the next table.
8) At the end of the evening the player with the lowest total score of all the games will be be the winner.
Information from Peter Browne, SSA Bar Committee Chair, on the arrangements for the bar opening times over winter.
