RESULTS OF 2016 COMPETITIONS
Presentation of Awards - for 2016
The awards for 2016 competitions were made at the annual dinner which was held on 25 January 2017 at La Flambe restaurant in Sutton Benger.
Unfortunately a number of members, including our Chairman and Treasurer, had been struck down by one or other of the bugs going around at this time of year and were unable to attend. Nevertheless, a most enjoyable time was had by the 16 members and guests who were treated to a selection of a-la-carte choices from La Flambe's excellent menu and all the ladies received a long-stem rose to take home.
The Marjorie Cox and Robin Sutton Trophies were presented to Sonya and Evelyn respectively, whose partners, Colin and Chris, were unfortunately among the absentees. And the presentation, by the Chairman, of the Eileen Harding shield to Adrian and Susan was held over until 1st Feb at the club.

This competition is organised as a “Mixed Experience” event in which the competing pairs each consist of an experienced club player and one of our newer, less experienced players, with the pairings selected randomly. The 2016 competition was held on Wednesday 9 November 2016. Winners Chris Baldock and Evelyn Power Runners-up Mike Forward and Janet Ladle Third place Roy Wicks and Ann Kingdom |
