ROYAL HOUSEHOLD WELCOME ASHCOMBE   ASHCOMBE PARK 100 : ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 145
A warm welcome was afforded Ashcombe Park Bowling Club when we visited the Royal Household at their Club in Windsor Great park. The club is situated in an area known as Frogmore, and it is truly in an idyllic setting, with the weather staying very warm and sunny throughout the day. During the game we talked about each other's Clubs, and our Centenary year. Afterwards a tea was provided, and we were then shown items of historic interest, including the first woods that were bowled on their first opening day, back in 1921. A predominance of the members of the club either work or have been employed by the Royal Household, and many live on the estate. The day was somewhat spoilt by aircraft noise, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable experience, playing perfect hosts, on a near perfect green. And, for a Centenary match, how fitting it was for Ashcombe to score 100 shots albeit the Royal Household won the game by 45 shots.
