Following discussions with members, we’ve purchased a couple of substantial pots for the front of the new summerhouse and some more slightly smaller ones for around the green. We’d like to encourage folk to adopt a pot, planting pots up and taking care of them. To help, a new watering hose will be available soon.

The popular Friday Triples is due to start on 5th June at 10:30am. As the name suggests, it runs every Friday morning for at least 10 weeks, and hopefully for longer, depending on the weather. Each week sees teams compete in triples over 14 ends. It comprises 6 teams of around 5 players, with 3 being used each week. Each team has a captain who’s responsible for sorting out who plays when. The sign-up sheet will be on the noticeboard in due course so please do add your name. Teams are selected in a semi-random fashion to ensure a fair balance.

Club Night kicked off on Tuesday and will keep going throughout the season. The aim is to start at 6pm so please try and register by 5:45pm. If you’re running late and know you’ll be there you can always put a message in the member’s WhatsApp group or get in touch with the organiser or fellow member. A rota of who on the committee is in charge each week will be published soon.

Unfortunately the refurbishment to the main club is still delayed. Once started, access to the clubhouse will be restricted whilst the path is widened and the structural work commences. The logistics of access to toilets, etc. are being worked on.

Most folk are used to how team games operate but we do have a special one at the Royal Household on 9th May which will be a bit different. We have to submit car registrations and who’s travelling in each, with ID too. Our captain Dennis will be in touch in due course.

The rink booking system is now in operation so please get in touch if you have any issues. You shouldn’t really encounter any issues getting a rink but it’s always best to check just in case the green is being cut or worked on when you want to play.

Just a reminder for those wishing to enter external competitions, the entry date for North West Surrey is this Sunday; there is a little more time with the South Middlesex entries closing on 10th May.
