The final regular Thursday tournament for the year, being the members only ham tournament, was held on 18 December.  Weather conditions were good apart from a tricky wind however all enjoyed the day.

There were hams for the first three places and bottles of bubbly for 4^th place all of which were competed for by 18 teams. Every endeavour was made to balance the teams which was not made easy by a couple of late withdrawals and at the end of the day 9 teams had 3 or more wins. That meant the other 9 teams had mixed results. Thanks to those who agreed to replace the withdrawals to enable byes to be avoided.

Winners for the day were as follows:

1^st        Larry Cain/Mike Jelley/Helen Bartley 4 wins 26 ends 48 points

2^nd       Phil Chisholm/Tony Trent/Helen Aley 3 ½ wins 30 ends 63 points

3^rd        Alan Daniels/Barry McCrystal/John Valentine 3 ½ wins 28 ends 50 points

4^th        Tony James/Gordon Jenkins/Robyn Pittams 3 wins 31 ends 62 points
