Less than a month ago our game against Silves International was unfortunately cancelled, and that left us with a gap in our calendar.

Bravely our intrepid competition secretary, Eddie Kassner, stepped into the breach and organised a replacement competition - “not (quite) the Presidents cup”. Please don’t underestimate the logistics of organising this type of competition and many thanks to Eddie for saving the day.

Rain intervened but failed to disrupt a very successful event with “Not (quite) the Rest of the World” team (19 1/2) narrowly losing to a “Not (quite) the USA” team (22 1/2).

Our very own Poor Man’s Band entertained us (indoors due to the weather) for over an hour, and the celebrations lasted well into the afternoon.

A collection raised 200 euros which was divided equally between the Pestana team and the Oranta Ukrainian charity.

Thanks to everybody who supported the event
