The green had to be closed on Tuesday after steady drizzle through much of the morning had made it unplayable. Wednesday was brighter and the Jaxx Roll went ahead as planned. Two people deserve special mention for their actions with regard to this event. Firstly thanks to Fred Palmer who took over the organization in the absence of John Pattrick who usually arranges the competition. Fred's one big problem was resolved by Peter Freer of Howick who, having been called at eight o'clock in the morning raised a full team and got them to Hilton in time to ensure a balanced field. Thanks for your support, Peter.
