A feature of the day was the healthy array of prizes on offer in the raffle. Arie and his team had put together numerous baskets of food goodies filling a whole table, meaning there would be many winners and ensuring nearly everyone stayed for the prize-giving at the end of play.
Recreation was won by Nicholas Cavenagh, from Balmain Club. At this stage we are still not sure whether he was a novice. Intermediate went to local player Krystyna Batten, the only player on the day to win all games. Robyne Williams was second recording a rating gain of 111 and putting her in contention for the tournament medal. In Advanced, retiree Sam Greenberg took out the honours in a close contest.
The Masters section was not decided until the last move, in which I played out with MODIFIED for 80 plus catching John Barker with 16 on his rack and catapulting me ahead of Chris May on spread.
A great day was had by all - thank you Arie and Ann. Anyone who deliberately stayed away must have had rocks in their head!
