Joan and John Castle won the Michael Marks Shield against a field of 17 tables, ahead of Joan Fawcett and Sue Riley and Anne Small and Hans van Weeren. See more photos on our Facebook Group.
The Shield event remembers the solid contribution made by past president, Michael Marks, who during his presidential period in the late 1990s, oversaw the building of our current dedicated annex on the Nelson Heather Centre and the 21 year lease from the Council. Event convener, Annegrete Kolding, asked long term member, Sue Riley, to provide some background information. Interestingly John Castle was president at the time we first moved from the Mona Vale Golf Club to the Angophora Room in the Nelson Heather Centre.
Today's large field with a single winner tested our directors, Alan Davies and Cassandra Mitchell, as they were both running a Web Mitchell movement for the first time, complicated by adding in an Arrow Switch.
