King’s Birthday Gala

There was some great play during the King’s Birthday Weekend Mixed pairs. This year we were sponsored by Life member and Patron Margaret Griffin and Milife Rosewood Park.

We had 28 teams entered, some from Picton, Paraparaumu, Foxton plus all parts of Levin.

Play was over two days with four games each day consisting of 10 ends each. On the second day the players were put into three sections according to how they’d done on the first day.

The weather was cool but we had no rain which was good. After the second day’s play we had a lovely afternoon tea organised by Mary van der Velden and prepared by Margaret Wilson.

Margaret Griffin was there on day two to present the prizes for play and also draw the raffle. Our top placing in each section were:

Section A:

• 1^st Robert Evans and Ralda Adams
• 2^nd Bronwyn McMahon and Graeme Mathie
• 3^rd Duncan Mann and Mary van der Velden

Section B:

• 1^st Barry Cross and Kaye Lahman
• 2^nd Wayne Coley and Valda Anderson
• 3^rd Chris and Kay Hogan

Section C:

• 1^st Clare Hack and Don Newton
• 2^nd Roger Athersuch and Pat Brown
• 3^rd Adam Batty and Erica Whittaker
• 4^th Irene Poletti and Norman Annand

Congratulations to all our winners.
