Wednesday July 31

An even dozen players arrived to play tonight, including two of the founding members who have been absent for a few weeks.

Eva Bitel has been absent on “medical leave” and it was great to see her back in front of a board.

John Symon also  returned after his last holiday – think he just comes back to do the laundry and pack for the next expedition!!

Hamish Moore, one of our newest players was drawn as the jackpot player but failed to scoop the pool.

Final results showed a tie between Arthur Ramer and Jim Bean, with David Layman trundling off with third place .

See you all next Wednesday– sorry about the lack of photos – the time got away from me – will try to do better next time.
