The Club extends its deepest sympathy to Pat Bennet on the death of her husband, Robin after a short illness.
The IF Trips competition had to be cancelled on Friday due to rain.
Both of our league teams played in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday. The second team came up against strong competition from Collegians. They held their own until the last ends on each rink when the opponents got the required shots and took the match. The third league team was on the back foot all afternoon against Alexander Park. Although we actually held the lead briefly on one rink, we came away with no points.
George Oldham, Fred Palmer and Chris Purchase played in the NIBA Men's Open Trips on Sunday. They had two good opening games, narrowly losing to last year's winners and a strong side from Collegians. Their last round robin match was against Howick and was of academic interest as both sides had already been eliminated. On Friday we will be hosting a new 2–4–2 pairs competition. Sponsors are Artisans Pizza Pasta.
The Jaxx Roll scheduled for Wednesday 19th will go ahead as planned and on Saturday 22nd we will hold the Surelink Trophy event. An entry form is on the notice board.
