The new season of the ever popular John Saxby Competition, the things members will do for a slice of a Mars bar!

Due to the early frost on Thursday the comp was limited to 2 games each rather than the usual 3. Louise Cheyne came out triumphant with a score of 65, Andrew Winn was second on 52, closely followed by John Bagnall on 51.

The top five of the table looks like this:

Position	Member	Score	Movement	Wins
1	Louise Cheyne	65	+15	1
2	Andrew Winn	52	+14
3	John Bagnall	51	+13
4	Alan Dix	41	+12
5	Charles Fraser	32	+11

The movement column looks a bit odd, as everyone that played today had their previous position to 16. It will make more sense as the league progresses.

No change to the top 10 in the overall table, included in this week’s table is the “worse” score in the eight counting scores, for each of the top ten players.
