Another successful tournament yesterday. I always think that the Anniversary tournament and the Canada Day tournament are the two most special of our in club tournaments so it was great to have a good turn out yesterday. Lots of people contributed as always but a special thanks to drawmasters George and Barb Lawrence doing the job for the very first time. Also thanks to Roy Thorneycroft for donating the cash prize for a spider.
It is a while since we had a group photo so we started this special occasion with one.

It was fitting that Eve Gorringe, who carried out much of the research into the club’s history should be the winning skip on this special occasion. (Pictured are David Brister, Eve Gorringe and Chuck Chidley with the HTM Insurance trophy).
It was a runaway win as well. Each team played three 10 end games and Eve’s team was the only one to win all 3 games. The maximum possible points score was 45 and it was nearly a perfect result in that her team scored 44 points. Their closest challenge was from the team of Ron Covert, Barbara Covert and Ralph Hewitt who, after winning their first two games, lost to Eve’s team 14-7 in the final game of the day and finished second with 2 wins and 32 points.
The full results are on the results page and there are more photos on the photos page.

I was looking at some of the photos from earlier this year and it reminded me of the challenges that Ralph and Mike have faced in getting the greens to the fine state they are in now. I've therefore put together a short slide show below to demonstrate this. They and their small band of helpers really have done a great job.
