7 August 2010

Fifty-six players took part in the fundraising melee in support of the Pieman, Pete Hamilton, who lost his business in a recent fire.

Even the weather played its part as the rain stayed away until after the games were completed.

Leading Results were:

  1. Nico Toyne, 5 wins, +43
  2. Barbara Johnston, 5 wins, +39
  3. Margaret Mordicai, 5 wins, +38
  4. Murray Johnston, 5 wins, +37
  5. Kath Alison, 5 wins, +22
  6. Pete the Pieman, 4 wins, +35

A total of $1,320 was raised.

To the players, helpers and supporters, a big thank for your generosity and support.
