Vera Pugh Shield results

The Vera Pugh Shield, a restricted pairs event, has been contested for this year and it's another great result! The winners were Doris Spilker and Jackie Downie who beat stiff opposition with Colleen & Errol Pillemer and Elly Edgar & Jo Morgan heading the other participants. Fantastic afternoon - well done to all who played.

Bookings

Please check your bookings regularly to ensure that you are booked in for the days you wish to play. We understand that it can become confusing, playing different days with different partners. However, it makes our directors days easier if they have accurate numbers for each seating plan.

Puns intended

1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.

3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.

4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.

5. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.

7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.

8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: "You stay here. I'll go on a head."

13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
