Summer Social and Trophy Awards.

To mark the end of the 2017-18 season, we held our annual Summer Social on Wednesday evening (27 June 2018).

We had an excellent fish/chicken and chips supper, including decadent desserts, organised with customary efficiency by Hilary and Roger Clarke.

All those attending were very appreciative.

Then we turned to the main business of the evening. Prizes!

Club Trophies (winners) and Certificates (first, second, third) were handed out to those who had been successful in the club competitions through the season.
