The day dawned overcast and thankfully improved during the day such that by Kate afternoon we even saw vestiges of the sun!! A welcome sight to beckon the start of the longer days with the clock moving forward an hour overnight. Thankfully everyone playing in this match had remembered the hour change and all arrived [...]
The day dawned overcast and didn’t improve much throughout although it didn’t rain. The Circuit Judges were in fine form and created a most convivial atmosphere which is much the norm in all our matches.
