Wednesday December 13th

Tonight, being the last meeting of the year, saw the challenge for 2023 Club Champion. The four highest placed in our ladder, David Reitzin, Gary Stavrou, Jim Bean and Aram Amirghan battled fiercely for the top spot which Aram eventually claimed.

David Reitzin was the Ladder Leader for the year.

By contrast, the Wooden Spooner for the year was Nick Macoun.
Nick apparently wears this honour with great pride as he provided his own Wooden Spoon Prize.

21 players entered the regular tournament and those results are shown in the table below.

Nick Macoun, Wooden Spooner for 2023.
Can he repeat this feat in 2024?

Jim Bean, having lost his tilt at the club championship, consoling himself with cake. 

Mahnaz seems to have hypnotised Ryan. Is this the secret of her success?

What is Mackenzie embarrassed at?
I'll let you muse on the possibilities

No wonder Sean is upbeat and Andrew is wistful, considering the score.

A happy John Symon won the tournament tonight
