Congratulations to Gerry H and Humberto on winning the Millisle Shield Doubles on 12 Aug 2023. Maybe somebody should teach Humberto how to put a medal on straight! (See below )

For the second week running, we defied the weather forecast and had a very enjoyable competition. The gazebo kept our sandwiches from getting soggy during the lunch time rain. Congratulations to John Hennessy ( Jnr) and Helen on winning the Bass Shield Doubles on 29 July 2023. For John, this is the second year in a row as a winner of this competition and, for Helen, her second win this year.

WHO DARES WINS! Most of the original entrants defied the forecast of the meteorogic, metorolgy, metelogical, weather men, and 16 hardy souls played a very enjoyable competition in perfect conditions. Congratulations to Des on winning his first competition, with Kevin, and for his kind hospitality in Pickie clubhouse afterwards. The new gazebo also had its first outing and seems a very useful addition to our assets. We are considering holding a competition for those who withdrew from the event because of the forecast. If so, the trophy will be called the ‘Woe is me’ perpetual shield or WIMPS for short.

Well done to Ciaran and Bob on reaching the S/Finals of this competition in June 2023 and to Sylver for his organisation and hospitality.

Congratulations to Humberto, Helen and Linda on winning the RFS trophy on 1 July 2023. Due to several postponements, this was our first competition of the year and also, a first competition win for Linda. Unfortunately, Humberto suffered an attack of camera shyness and is not in the photo.
