It has been a busy week. On Tuesday many of our members went down to Collegians to play in the 2-4-2 tournament which was won by Fred Palmer and Barry Best. Well done Hilton! The normal tabs games were also quite well supported on Tuesday and Thursday.
In brighter weather than we have become used to, twenty-eight players turned up on Friday to contest the Artesan's 2-4-2 at Hilton. Winners were Mike and Janet Fairhurst. In second place were Fred Palmer and Joan Byrom. Visitors Graeme and Lynn Cameron took third place. Tony and Jean Barrington had a terrific win to collect the fourth prize. Tom Hartley and Jill Bannatyne filled the fifth spot. Our congratulations to all the winners, and grateful thanks to Artisan's Restaurant, Zevenwacht Wines, Terbodore Coffees and Wedgewood nougat for their kind donation of the prizes.
A small crowd of only 22 people came to play for chickens on Saturday. The rain closed in again towards the end of the afternoon, but we managed to finish all the games. Winners were Jean Pluke, Taffy O'Neil-Williams and Anton Leisegang. Second were Thelma Mylne, Basil Fann and Etzel Nuss. Thanks to the Quarry Spar for the chickens presented to the winners.
The Christmas Cup will be contested on Saturday 20th. There is still room for extra players.
We hope to have the full calendar for our 2015 activities ready for distribution soon.
