Ladies - Please note that the Match against Cassiobury THIS THURSDAY has been CANCELLED by our opposition who couldn't raise a team

On Wednesday 9th May, the men some how survived the weather to play their first Bucks Cup game of the season with 1 winning rink at home and 1 winning rink away - they were able to secure 4 points to Richings Parks 10 points, Due to shot difference. Winning rink at home was Norman Clare, Roger Darbourne and Mike Alderton 18-11, and winning rink away was Joe Jaquest, Jamie Heath and Bernard Bailey 19-8.      

Rob Kirby and George Ivey played their Bowls England, National over 55 pairs match against Jack Bushby and partner, away at Hazlemere, and won 22 - 20.  Half of the match was in heavy rain and after a good start they held on to a good win on an unfamiliar surface. 

Our Friendly against Kings Langley, also on Wednesday, was curtailed to 9 ends due the rain, at which point we were losing 31-41, though Hazel Baker , Robin Newman and Graeme Richards were leading Chalfont Rink, by 10-8.

At the weekend we recorded a victory against Flackwell Heath in our Three Counties match on Saturday, by 103 points to 89, picking up 7 points to their 5.  The top chalfont rink was Rose Kirby, Tony Smith Candi Marchant and Mike Alderton with an impressive win 25 shots to 7

On Sunday, we lost our friendly match against Cove, by 70 - 90, but this was compensated by an overdue change in the weather, and a lovely sunny day.

SOCIAL OUTING ;  

Bob has received interest in an EVENING trip to KEMPTON PARK RACES on the 4th of July. (the best date to fit in with our fixtures).

Races are between 6 & 9 pm, needing a depature from Chalfont around 4.45. Lifts can be organised if needed, so add your name to the sheet in the clubhouse, or on the 'Topic' which has been added to the Members Forum on this website. The cost is estimated at £12.80 per person.

There is also a clubhouse sheet for entry into the Spring Plate on 4th June , starting 10.30. Cost will be £4 for the usual early coffee and mid-event lunch, (Ham or Cheese or Pate) and again a forum page has been created to allow you to register here as well as in the club.

Members can check out the Members Forum pages for recent notes on the Ladder Competition, and also information for the gentlemen members on their dates and pairings for the cleaning rota now posted in the clubhouse. There are also forum topics for the matches through to the end of May, and these will be updated weekly to stay 4 weeks ahead.

Remember that you can always roll-up to practise through the week, but the groundkeepers need Mon-Wed-Fri mornings to 11.00, and it's suggested a 10.00 start should be early enough for the rest of the week.
