Paul Rigge from the Pendle club surprised himself, but nobody else, by wininning the Bowdon Advanced Tournament. Brian Storey presented Paul with the Peterson Cup. Well done Paul, we look forward to seeing you defend it next year.
Paul Rigge won 5 games out of 7, as did Ian Lines, but when they played eachother Paul won by +25tp so becoming the overall winner.
Former Bowdon member Ian Lines managed the tournament and graced it with his play, as he has for several years. Lorna Frost was in charge of the much appreciated catering. Thanks to Ian and Lorna, and to our groundsman Alan Mayne.
