Between Friday 3rd and Sunday 5th March, six members of the club took the ferry to the Isle of Wight to take part in the annual tournament there. The venue was the Trouville Hotel, right on the seafront at Sandown. The format of the competition was a 10-game league, with promotion and relegation at 'half-time', followed by another 10-game league. All quite intensive!
Three of the six club members did rather well:
Maureen Barlow came third in Division C in the first part of the tournament, and was promoted to Division B.
Wanda de Poitiers came third in Division B in the second part of the tournament.
And Graham Harding came second in Division A in the second part of the tournament.
