Tuesday December 9th 2025

 We had 37 players tonight, including the return of our prodigal son, Adam Makda after his Australian Championship meltdown. He brightens the place up with his extreme emotions, from bravado to bleak...we missed you, mate.

Tony Giannoulis was the jackpot player but the prize eluded him.

Next Tuesday is our final night of the year.

The top four ladder scorers are, in order, Gary, Morty, Zhiman and David R. David has forgone his spot which is now filled by Jim Bean.

These four players, separately from the main field, will play for the Club Championship next week.

Tuesday December 2nd 2025

 We had 39 players tonight including newcomer Bruce Stephens.

Ken Kershaw was the drawn jackpot but failed to grasp the elusive prize.

Gary recommended that the jackpot prize be capped at $500, any excess spilling into the next jackpot. Players present overwhelmingly agreed to the proposal, effective immediately.

There are just two more weeks of play left this year.
