| March 2026 Congress |
 |
Another very successful congress has been conducted and it's a big shout out to all those who took part! There was some serious competition and very good results achieved by of our members. It appeared that there was a lot of merriment and many comments and thanks were received for the effort it took. The catering team all did a wonderful job in keeping the masses fed - a wonderful selection of food was on offer. Thank you to ALL who contributed either by cooking, serving, cleaning up etc. It really was a team effort. Many thanks to our convener, Tom, for all his hard work in liaising with all the entrants as well as the director. See slide show below for photos of the winners and placegetters.
