In addition to Margaret I would like to thank:

* Roz King, who ran the kitchen (ably assisted by Diane Horton, Penny Currier and Elaine Westlake), and all Waikanae members who contributed a plate for morning tea
* Steve Ricketts and Isobel Ross, who set up and ran the bar
* Fiona McDonald-Bates, who ran the raffle and took the photos
* Nicky Bradley, who covered for me at short notice with the formalities and announcements before and after play
