| Results of Foster Individual Comp |
 A successful repeat of the Harold Foster Individual Competition took place on Friday 20th September. Thanks goes to John Fairhurst who directed and Phil Brown and John Glasscock who were involved in creating the table and individual cards. All went well this time.
The winner was Stan Babb, second was Jean Babb (big celebration in that household I suspect) and third was John Fairhurst.
Well done to all who took part.
