17 DonMoggers gathered at the White Hart in Quorn for lunch on a gloomy Wednesday.
Lunch was served and the weather brightened up. After lunch the competition draw was made. There were to be 7 first round matches with Nev gaining a bye to the Quarter-Finals. Play started and it became clear that everyone was taking things very seriously. The measuring chord was soon in action – although a running repair was initially required.
After a tense Semi-Final round, the finalists were to be Nina and Jenny. The match which followed was watched by the assembled crowd with plenty of oohs and aaahs. Eventually, Jenny was declared the winner and was awarded a well deserved bottle of Prosecco.
With very grateful thanks to Peter and Anne Beckett for organising the day to perfection. We all had a brilliant time.
