We were supposed to play Cippenham on Tuesday 22nd September but somewhere along the way they forgot the fixture which had been a rearranged one.

Instead we played a friendly internal match which went very well and the sun was out and we treated it like a normal match with tea at 9 ends and drink at the end. This was our last match of the season and tonight Friday 25th September is our last roll up.

I hope everyone has a good winter and will see you all again next year.

We played our annual Captains v Presidents match on Saturday 19th Seprtember. The weather was good and we had a very enjoyable friendly match which the Captains team won.  We had a lovely BBQ prepared by Robert Trimmer and the social team provided the salad etc and we had lots of non-players who came to watch and enjoy the food.  Candi Ivey came up trumps with lots of really nice cakes and we supplied Pimms at the bar along with other drinks. This was a great success.

We played a friendly at Home against Croxley Guild on Wednesday 9th September. The weather was better than expected and the sun was out for most of the afternoon. The 4 triples were very close for most of the match and we managed to win by 60 to 55 shots. We had a top triple of Roger Austin, Chris Pound and John Pink by 18 to 8 shots.

Yesterday Monday 7th September we played at Home against Gerrards Cross in a Friendly match and for a change they did not send any of there really top players. We had a very nice afternoon and it was warm and sunny most of the time. Everyone seemed to enjoy the game and we eventually ended up winning by 86 to 54 shots. We won on 4 out of 5 triples and out top triple was Flora Alderton, Martin Cripps and John Anderson bt 21 to 8 shots.

On Thursday 3rd September the ladies took two triples only (we couldn't raise the full three) to Gerrards Cross.

As their ladies were back from Leamington we came second!!

We had our annual Ladies v Gents match yesterday and this was played in good fun. I had hoped we might have got a draw but in the end the Gents won by 74 to 66. We decided to make Pimms for the Ladies who seemed to enjoyed it. The weather was good for us and the green seems to be coming back to its normal colour now. We won 2 triples each and a draw on the 5th one  which was a fair result.

On Tuesday 1st September we played a friendly match at Court Park. Due to rain previously one end of the green was rather damp and we had to keep the mat up from the edges.It was a bit breezy and we managed to win on all 4 triples which was extremely good. We won by 66 to 43 shots and our highest triple was Candi Ivey, Graham Buchanan and Nigel Shock by 21 to 10 shots.

The winners for August 2026 are Issy Porter  £25.00,   Jane Bowler  £15.00 and  Patrick Aikens £10.00.

Well done to all.

We played at Berkhamsted on Wednesday 26th August in a friendly which we lost by 58 to 68 shots although we won 2 triples each. The green was fine and weather good.

On Saturday 29th August we played at Denham in a friendly and the weather was not good and the match had to be stopped due to the rain after 7 ends. At that time we were beating them so it counts as a win to us.

On Sunday we played at Aston Clinton again in a friendly and we managed to win by 60 shots to 55.We did have to stop for a little while when it rained quite heavily and then we carried on to the end. Our top triple was Gill Pochetty, Graham Buchanan and Callum Kavanagh by 21 to 6 shots. 

On Thursday 27th August our ladies played at Flackwell Heath.  We were extremely lucky with the weather with black clouds, thunder and lightening around us but without a drop of rain to ruin the game.  We all had an enjoyable afternoon and came away with a win to Chalfont of 51 to 47.  Our top (and only winning rink), was Janice Endersby, Angela Cripps and Chris Pound 25 - 8.  Very well done to them!

On Thursday 20th August we played at Home against Wexham who could only get 3 triples so one of our teams swapped around at 9 ends. We beat them on 2 triples out of 3  by 51 to 34 shots on a nice warm afternoon and a friendly match.

We have had a very peculiar round of matches with the weather being so hot in the last week or so. We played at Marlow in a C&T match on the 20th July and lost by 2 points to 8. Our winning triple was Denise Williams, Candi Ivey and Callum Kavanagh.

We then played a friendly match at Wexham on the 23rd July and again we lost by 3 triples to 1. Our winning triple was Mike Moir, Denise Williams and Nigel Shock.  We then played Harefield Hospital in a 3 Counties match at home on the 25th July which we won by 7 points to 5. We had 2 wins, 2 losses and i drawn triple. Out top triple was Flora Alderton.John Anderson and Barry Mills by 27 to 8 shots. We then went to Wendover for a friendly match and managed to get 5 triples which was very good. Their green was very good as they had plenty of watering and we lost by 64 to 92 shots. Our winning triple was Margaret Timberlake, Allan Sanders and Mike Holehouse who won by 19 to 13 shots.The captain at Wendover for us was Ian Griffith for which I am very grateful.
