The Jubilee Shield
Congratulations to Adrian Salt and Martin Tomlinson who won the Jubilee Shield on Sunday 7th July. The competition is a mixed doubles competition. This year eighteen members took part. The competition began at 1.30pm and lasted until after 6.00pm. At the beginning of the afternoon players were donning their waterproofs as yet again a summer afternoon was marred by rain. However, the weather gradually improved throughout the afternoon eventually becoming warm and sunny. The runners-up were Charles Ellis and Mike Warwick. Thanks to our Club Captain, Vera Alderson who organised and ran the afternoon.
As a matter of interest Peter Wightman is a relatively new member of our club, and it was his father-in-law, Eric Proctor, who donated the Shield.
