End of Season Blitz

Congrats to Matthew and Duncan for tying first. And well done to all those who participated.

This is our last Wednesday of the season, we will be open for one last Sunday tomorrow the 28th of June.

The club will reopen in September like usual.

This years Club Championship winner is our very own Bob Lothian, this is not the first time Bob has won the club championship and im sure it wont be the last.

This years Championship was very close, with a 3 way tie at the end between Bob, Duncan MacDonald and Jeremy Mitchell. This was decided with a rapid playoff where Bob managed to come out victorious.

This year Bob has captained and sat at board 1 for our SNCL team helping to keep us in Division 1 for another year, he sat board 1 in the NE League for Stonehaven Carron where he performed 8/9 points without a single loss, played in several congresses with some good results and now has won the Club championship for the 5th time. What a tank!

Congratualtions to Bob on your Victory and other performances this year.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this years championship and esspecially to those who tied with Bob at the end, better luck next time.
