Forty-one players put in tabs on Tuesday. Thanks to the generosity of our farming member, John Fowler the team of George Oldham, Etzel Nuss and Hamish Gerrard won giant-sized grapefruit. Thursday saw 30 players vying for grapefruit once again. Victors this time were Derick Hull, Arthur Daugherty and Vince Seale.
