The Xmas Hamper League produced a new leader that of David Whitworth, Bob Herman & Wally Oakes who have won their first two games earning them 4 points. The top group are all very close so it is very much open season.

Tuesday we had another fight for the bird with Keith Blood, Barry B and Fred Trott all tying with 24 points with Fred living up to his name by trotting out the final winner. Not to be outdone the egg cup was fought over by Sylvia, Colin Potter and Derrick Cooper with Derrick collecting the spoils.

Audrey's Saturday night bash was enjoyed by all who attended with comments like let’s do it again, the proof of the pudding was in the eating well done Audrey.

John Haigh has asked me to remind all members that on Thursday prior to the start of the Xmas Hamper League at approx 9.30 a.m. if possible the Federation Meeting will commence with enrollment taking place, it is important please try and attend... Finally it was good to see Sophie with June Hitchcock both these ladies being (h)armless, sorry I couldn't resist the pun, the pair of them with their arms in slings dishing out orders to poor Frank who still has to make the tea.
