News & Updates
Early Bird Mixed Pairs — May 22-23, 2010
The first tournament of the year was well-attended, boosted by those friends from out of town that joined us. It was a very chilly weekend, but the competition was heated. By the end of the Saturday the evening barbeque was a welcome sight.
Kudos to drawmaster Martin Fereday, and to Claire and Robin Day for keeping everyone well-fed!
