| 2025 Competition |
Our Ladies' and Men's pairs competitions took place in the club on Thursday 17 April. We had 10 pairs of ladies and 9 of men, which meant the ladies had no time to rest unlike the men who had time for forty winks (or a rest) during a sit-out round. Congratulations to the winning ladies, Christine Hughes and Anne Dodd. Runners up were Sally Banks & Annie Mead and 3rd place were Janice Meads & Sheila Banham. Here are photos of the top 3 places.
