This handicapped teams event was won by Yaso Rajkumar, Alistair Scott, Denise Skippings and Dave Skippings, pictured receiving the Pead Plate from club President Graham Rayner.

| John Chamberlain |
The club is sad to announce that John Chamberlain has passed away. John had not been well over the last few weeks but carried on playing online until very recently. He was a member for many years, always courteous and supportive of the club. He also had been a Committee member of Reading Cub and a regular player with his wife Annette at Goring and Henley and had a role in the running of the Chiltern League.
He will be sadly missed.
