PORT PIRIE TOURNAMENT

We have just had a wonderful, but freezing weekend at Port Pirie. The Carnival was quite successful even though we had several late withdrawals due to unforeseen circumstances, and we extend our best wishes to Colleen Smith, Paul Berry and Amanda Todd. We also have a big thank you to the wonderful people who played extra games and others who filled in at short notice. Once again the canteen did a marvellous job trying to keep us warm and well fed. Hopefully many of the players will attend our next event on November 7th and 8th in Adelaide. A big thank you to Tanya and Andrew Williams for finding so many fill-ins. Aileen Ramly
