| Malcolm Hayward Competition 2026 |
The Malcolm Hayward 2026, fixed teams, competition was held on Thursday 14th May. Congratulations from across the club go to Andrew Urbanski, Sue Brown, Gareth Evans and Mike Short who won the overall competition - by just 1 IMP with Kate Cox, Derek Trubody, Diane Connors and Allison Pearce giving good chase. Well done all. There was a technical glitch on the evening so we weren't able to take a pic of the winners with this impressive trophy. So our boffins have tried to crop some previous shots we have of each member of the team - apologies for the quality.

| Malcolm Hayward Fixed Teams Event - Thanks |
The Malcolm Hayward fixed teams competition is a fabulous event for the club. A huge amount of work is done in advance and behind the scenes to make sure it goes smoothly. Our whole hearted thanks go to the team who worked hard to make it all happen. The whole event begins with Paul Gunning who works tirelessly, on everyone’s behalf, to create partnerships and teams. Across the entire year this is his biggest job as he tries to maintain the number of teams right up to the last minute - thanks Paul. Then the catering team of Kate and Sue who did such a fabulous job again this year - and got the catering just right. Well done both, and thank you. The directors and scoring team of Carlton, Lesley D, Karen, and Christine - thank you. And to the wonderful membership who support the club, every time - thank you. And a special thank you to Doug and Jacky who stepped in at the last moment to protect the numbers when our need was greatest - thank you.

| Dave Watson Handicapped Simple Systems 2026 - Results |
|
Congratulations from across the whole club to so many of the newer members who took part in the 2026 Dave Watson Simple Systems competition. For most of the field this represented their first ever competition and it does them all great credit that the leader board was dominated by so many new names throughout the afternoon. The competition, as always, honoured the great man by levelling the field to make sure all participants played the same system. Further than that, to make it fairer for the newer players, a handicapping system was used. But most extraordinarily of all, the winners, Sue and Jane Fitzhugh, won the whole event thoroughly. Whichever you look at the scores! Because they came top both BEFORE and AFTER the handicaps were applied! Amazing. Well done ladies. A fabulous result for you.
And a great result for so many of our newer members with the top 4 places (post handicapping) taken by newer members. So further congratulations also go to Margaret and Krys, Joyce and Kathy, Alison and Sally. Well done all.
And our thanks also go to those who made the whole thing happen. To our director Karen, scorer Lesley, handicapping supremo Nigel and queen of the catering department Kate.
