Many thanks are owed to our hosts and opponents, Macedon Ranges, for organising and running this year's event, with catering. It was a friendly and fun day. Thanks also to: our Director, Kerrie, from Bendigo BC, for managing the play with her usual aplomb; Guy, from Ranges, who managed the technical side of things; and, surely, many other helpers.  

Last, but not least, thanks to the two team managers: Louise (Maine) and Cate (Ranges) for their behind the scenes co-operation and organisation dedicated to ensuring that the event ran smoothly. Particularly effective was their decision to move the event from August to October, which resulted in much more comfortable playing conditions in Taradale Hall.
