Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas prize-giving and social event last night.
The evening began with the presentation of trophies from the year\u2019s events.
The time handicap award was presented to Andrew Fleming.
The Blitz award to Mark Rich.
The Gordon cup was presented to last season\u2019s winner: Rose Burgess.
The club championship trophy, going back to 1930, was presented to last season\u2019s champion: James Lumsden.
The player of the season for 23-24 was awarded to Andy Nguyen.
And finally, the club member of the year, awarded for outstanding contribution to the club was awarded to Sharon Merchant.
Once the prize giving was completed, we feasted on a a delicious buffet provided by the local cheese shop, (Thank you Julie!) and paired up to play some \u2018hand and brain\u2019.
It was a lot of fun, especially as many members were playing this format for the first time. At the end of play, joint winners emerged: John Kimber with David Pratt, and Luke Chapman with Sharon Merchant, who all finished on 3.5 from 4 games.
Massive thank you to Bill Tracey for organising such an enjoyable evening. And thank you to all the members who kindly stayed behind to help with the clearing up afterwards.
A very Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year to all our members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
