Erica Currie & Richard Currie Swiss Pairs RESULTS

ERICA CURRIE & RICHARD CURRIE SWISS PAIRS 11th February 2024

Congratulations to James Bond and David Owen, who won the overall event for the second year running and to Owen Leigh and Colin Jones who came second.  Both receive trophies, very kindly donated by Douglas Currie (who also gave a bottle of whisky as a raffle prize!).  The accounts for the event are not yet final, but we raised over £1,100 for our local Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, which is brilliant!

A BIG THANK YOU TO THE MANY PEOPLE WHO HELPED WITH THIS CHARITY EVENT.

We hope that you all really enjoyed the event and the excellent plated tea.

Mike O'Donnell & Mike Tettenborn
