Because of the weather in the preceding few days it was touch and go whether this tournament would happen. Thankfully the rain, thunderstorms and showers cleared sufficiently for Mayfair green to be available, and this, along with the carpet green, meant that the 24 teams entered could be accommodated.

The field was split into two groups of twelve teams, changing green for the afternoon games. The two greens were chalk and cheese, which some teams adapted to better than others! Unfortunately, as the morning session drew to a close it became apparent that organising the draw for the change of green proved to be beyond my capabilities. Special thanks to Colin Rogan for his help sorting this out (mostly) and to everyone for your patience and understanding over the extended lunchtime while we worked to sort it, and then ironed out a few bugs with the carpet green draw for game four.

There was only one four winner, so in first place was Lindsay Gilmore, Colin Rogan and Bruce McClintock.
There were nine three winners! Second, with 3 wins and 32 ends was Pete Sheehan, and Tina and Clive Lindsay. Third, with three wins and 28 ends was Elaine McClintock, Grant Keats and Adele Ineson. Fourth, just behind with three wins and 27 ends was Tony James, Geraldine Wight and Tony Trent.
In sixteenth place, with 2 wins and 19 ends was Allan Langley, Jeanette Orgias and Jayne Mackay.

There were four contenders for the morning prize, which was won by Chris Taylor, Murray Mathieson and Jan Calcott, with two wins and 15 ends.
There were three contenders for the afternoon prize, which was won by Alan Daniels, Kevin Robertson and Graeme Storey.
Lucky dips were won by Christine and Jo Tordeich and Queenie de la Croix, and Gerry Strydom, Barry Bailey and Graeme McGregor.

Thanks to Fairview/Settlers for their sponsorship, and to everyone who helped in the many ways necessary to make the day successful and enjoyable.
