Paintings Exhibition at Clocktower Cafe 1-13 July

9:40am Monday 17th June 2013

Snorkelling and scuba diving have inspired me to paint octopuses changing shape and colour. The fish of the Red Sea are amongst the most vivid in the world. But besides such exotic landscapes as Iguassu Falls and Volcanoes in Java, this collection also includes more homely subjects, such as old London and familiar flowers.

New table tennis star in the making

8:16am Wednesday 20th March 2013

Isabelle Joubeily from Purley reinforced the Surrey Cadets’ table tennis team as they earned promotion to the Cadet Premier Division on Saturday. Surrey opened with two 10-0 victories against Sussex II & Sussex III. Next in the firing line was Somerset whose two left-handed girls put up most resistance. Nevertheless it was an 8-2 win for Surrey to set up a grand finale with Hampshire who were unbeaten in Division 1c. Hampshire had despatched Dorset 8-2 to place themselves in a strong position. Only a win would be good enough for Surrey to take top spot while Hampshire only required a draw. So who would have expected Surrey to race into a 7-0 lead?! Sasha (Alex) Gillen opened the match with an excellent win over Jimmy Yeung albeit in 4 games. On the next table the same pattern emerged between Matthew Daish and Shaquille Webb-Dixon.
