PRESENTATION 2008 - NEW TROPHY, NEW FACES AND OLD
FRIENDS.
Highlight of the Trophy Presentation following the 2008 Annual General Meeting was introduction of a new trophy competed for by those members who attend on Friday afternoons. Lucy Rees a stalwart of the Friday Afternoon sessions sadly died shortly after being the joint winner of the Individual Trophy for 2007. In her honour The Lucy Rees Trophy was inaugurated for the Friday Afternoon Pairs competition and won, appropriately by the joint winner with Lucy last year, Martin Isham and his partner Hazel Jessen. Runners up and receiving awards for the first time were Susan and Neil Frais. Martin also won the Cup for Individual Highest Master Points putting John Walsh into second place for the second year running.
Catherine Stafford and Mike Gentry continued their dominance of the Graham Trophy for Friday evenings winning for the fourth year running this time with a magnificent 59.34% with Audrey Mace and Chris Richmond in second place with an excellent average of 57.07%. Catherine and Mike were also triumphant on Monday Evenings taking the Broughton Trophy with 57.27% but Jane Harris and Len Bartlett were newcomers, as a pair, to the the podium with second place and 56.06%. Stan Figiela and David Kilby, previous winners, were third with 55.08%.
The Thursday Evening event for the L and R Trophy with prizes presented by the donor Brian Simmonds – who himself with Len Bartlett finished fifth – was won for the first time by Hanna Broomburg and Michael Wiles on 56.56% with Lynne Mathys and Alison Montague second (54.98%) just 0.02% ahead of Leslie Edwards and Bob Batchelor.
The first Trophy competed for at the Club – The President’s Trophy – now in it’s fifteenth year was won for the first time by Sue Sheldon and Allan Chalmers with an excellent 58.59% with Chris Richmond and Mike Gentry second on 57.20% and Brian Simmonds and Len Bartlett third on 56.59%.
