This year’s Hi-bisquers weekend was severely hit by last minute illness and injury, a nightmare for organisers Brian and Carol to sort out at the very last moment. Six players lined up for four 14 point games on a windy Saturday; by close of play, four were still possible winners, among them Blewburians, Carol and Edmond. On Sunday, Fred Williams from Llanfairfechan, showed AC skills above his 20 handicap to take out the home pair.
As they shook hands, he told Carol that their close fought game was the most enjoyable he’d had all year. Although its result meant she’d present him with the engraved glass trophy, she agreed wholeheartedly. This generous spirit marked the whole tournament, so much so that the Jamiesons rounded out a weekend of diverse duties by playing Fred and his wife in a social doubles on Sunday afternoon before the Williams pair returned to Wales.

Thank you Brian for setting up, adding up, stepping in whenever refereeing was required – and everything else.
