There was an excellent turnout for the Charlie Mitchell Shield on Saturday 7 July - though it seemed several players were unaware that the Charlie Mitchell Shield had come to their normal Saturday session, despite being listed in the Diary, on the website and being announced in the previous week's session announcements.
Many were also unaware of who Charlie Mitchell was, and what he had done to help make the club the success it is today. Fortunately Sue Riley, with a little help from Ada Duignan and others, was able to fill us in on his part in the club's rich history.
The event was very close with the top four places changing frequently during the last three boards of the game. In the end the event was won by Anne Small and Hans van Weeren on 65.04 ahead of John and Margaret Rogers on 64.89 and Heidi Colenbrander and Ray Hurst on 63.80.
