Yesterday we celebrated our championship day for November.  We had a 9am shotgun start and believe it or not we were finished with prize presentations and snacks by 14.45.  These events do not run by themselves and we are indebted to a team of people who all work together to make the event such a success.

We had 100 participants and  thanks must go to the competitions committee under the guidance of Camillus Fitzpatrick and ably assisted by Philip Mountford and Terry Fitzgerald.  Thank you and well done. Karolina and Jose looked after the entries and generated our results in a timely fashion.
