Centenary Report 2009 by Tony Jackman - President

I am honoured to contribute to this report commemorating the events of the Club's Centenary Year. Also to take the opportunity to express my thanks to Club officers, members and the Centenary Committee set up to plan all aspects of the year.
Special thanks to Roy Ward for his guidance and advice regarding etiquette and procedures at prestigious matches, enabling us to set and follow a format upholding the good name of the Club.
Thank you Senior Vice President Maureen Trumble, Captains Anne Hoffmann and Les Owen, for match day support and Doreen for your everyday assistance and encouragement.
Catering at presitigious matches was very well managed by Nancy Smillie and her team of lady helpers, Eileen Mills standing in for the early games when Nancy was unwell. For the game versus the Medway Bowling Association, in which I had a special interest, they brought 17 visitors, in addition to the 24 bowlers, but Nancy took it all in her stride, providing meals for everyone.
Manager, John Hart, kept the bar well stocked and the stewards dispensed our liquid refreshments all season, their efforts much appreciated.
The green has looked and bowled very well all season, the envy of many visiting teams and thanks to the efforts of Bob Brennan, George Sperring and Peter Miller. It was good to see so many men members helping with the autumn work. The hanging baskets planted and tended by Jan Allum were a blaze of colour throughout the season and much admired.
The maintenance crew have also worked very hard, tackling all types of work around the property and saving the Club great expense, also installing a new dual fuel double oven and a dishwasher in the kitchen, items bought with donations left to the Club in memory of Geoff, Harold and Vic.
In Club competitions, this year Graham Pilbrow became Men's singles champion for the twentieth time and Jo Ellis the Ladies' champion. It was also great to see the newer bowlers both men and ladies involved in finals weekend matches, adding new names to the Club trophies.
Gill Sperring took part in six finals over the weekend, culminating in the final of the new 100-1 competition, losing to Peter Miller after an exciting game. This competition for a trophy presented by Joan Reynolds in memory of Geoff proved very popular.
Our thanks must go to Secretaries, Betty Day and Clive Allum for organising the competitions throughout the season. Clive is standing down after thirteen years of outstanding service.
The 'September Sunday Morning Invitation Fours' was organized by Graham Pilbrow for the tenth year, assisted now by Bill Ellis and sponsored by the National Counties Building Society, to whom we send thanks for their support and generosity.
Club Nights and Miller’s Triples go from strength to strength, both very popular and well supported, with Cyril Newman and his dodgy prizes and 10 teams taking part in Peter’s competition, again both events finishing up with a get together and meal in the clubhouse.
In outside competitions Graham Pilbrow won the Sutton & District B.A. Paston Cup for a record sixth time.
In the Ladies' Surrey triples Maggie O'Sullivan, Eileen Mills and Gill Sperring reached the semi-final stage.
Brian Kenyon, John Hart and Graham Pilbrow were beaten finalists in the County Area 3, Top 4 competition. Epsom men reached the semi-finals of the East Surrey League Top 10 and the Past Times competitions.
Gala Day and the Awards Dinner were organised by Betty Day, Eileen Godfrey and the Social Committee. Both events were enjoyed by all members who attended. Bill Ellis controlled proceedings on Gala Day, with Ruth and Colin Hunt and Peggy Shuttleworth judging the Edwardian Dress competition. Clive Banderet acted as M.C. at the Awards Dinner. My thanks to all concerned.

Whist Drives and Ken Lacey and Peter Humphreys the short mat bowling.
Diana Taylor, Jan Allum and Clive Banderet continue to run the Bridge section.
Social member, Jack Gee, celebrated his 100th birthday on 28th September. Although a member for only the past two years after moving into a flat opposite, he has found friendship and company here at the Club. He enjoys watching play from the gazebo during the season and attends all social events. A celebratory finger buffet organized by his family, assisted by Nancy and June Grant, was held in the Clubhouse for 60 people, both family and Club members. An event much appreciated by Jack.
Needless to say we are a Club very proud of our past and present and I feel very privileged to have been President at this time. Unhappily, prior to the 2008 season, four long serving and much respected members Geoff Reynolds, Harold Yates, Vic Shrosbree and Peter Burn died, a very sad time for the families and all Club members who knew them. We also send our condolences to Ted Emmett’s family in their recent loss.
I have served you to the best of my ability and I prepare to hand over the Presidency to Maureen Trumble, in the knowledge that she, with the help of Club Secretary, John Warren and Club Treasurer, Arthur Upward, will uphold the Club's good name.
I hope that Centenary Year will be remembered for all the good things that happened.
