Quiz Evening

A Quiz evening took place at the Club on Friday 16th November 2012.

49 members and friends turned up to enjoy an evening of testing questions varying from general knowledge, music rounds & identifying various pictures.

One of the rounds involved identifying men playing women in films and women playing men in films.  This turned out to be very challenging for some of the teams. Another round involved identifying the next line in a song played.  Many found it difficult not to sing the answer out loud which gave rise to some great fun.

The Quiz was organised by Les Owen assisted by his wife, Denise and two friends Sue & Barry Cornwell.

After a few rounds everyone enjoyed a Chicken & Chip/Fish & Chip Supper which had been organised by Betty Day & Eileen Godfrey.

Thanks also go to Peter Miller & Janet Newman who gave up their evening to look after the Bar.

After the Quiz many members mentioned that they had thoroughly enjoyed to evening.

Goodbye  Bob  (and Scrumpy Jack)

Bob Brennan was appointed Epsom’s Green Keeper in 1996. At that time he also looked after three other greens but eventually gave up all except Epsom. Over the years Bob has done an excellent job for us and there is no doubt that we have one of the best greens in Surrey. Until three years ago Bob was always accompanied by his boxer Scrumpy and then when Scrumpy Jack came along we were pleased to discover he was every bit as friendly as his predecessor.

Bob has now decided to retire and it is with great sadness we have to say goodbye.  We presented Bob with an engraved tankard and card to remind him of his time at Epsom.

Bob plans to move up north to be near to his son and family but until he goes we hope he’ll pop in to the Club for a chat and a drink.

We thank Bob for all he has done for the Club and wish him a long and happy retirement.

      with a card &Tankard                                             & Bob

Hello  Peter

Peter Miller who has been Bob’s apprentice for the last two years expressed an interest in becoming Epsom’s Green Keeper and at the last Executive Committee Meeting Peter’s appointment was approved. At his request this appointment is initially for one year.  Our best wishes go to Peter in his new role.

Green  Ranger

Last year Peter was our Green Ranger but as he cannot be both Keeper and Ranger we urgently need a volunteer to take on the position of Green Ranger. The main task of the Green Ranger is to be the link between the Green Keeper and the Club. As head of the Green Team, organise and implement the work schedule which has been agreed with the Green Keeper during the course of the year. With advice from the Green Keeper have the final say on all matters relating to the green.

Green Assistants

The Club needs one or two volunteers to be trained in the use of the grass mower so that if necessary someone other than Peter can cut the green. Those who are interested please speak to Peter.

Cyril Newman

 Epsom Bowling Club congratulates Cyril on passing the Level 2 Coaching Course.
