I'm working on the 28th but luckily the 21st is good for the Scrabble

Well done to Ronan Higginson beating Jack Hurst 105-96 on the crucial conundrum RUNVIEMSO.
Third was Jonathan de Souza beating Tim Hebbes 108-94. 10 took part.

I very much enjoyed the event - thank you Tony.

He got the junior winner medal too

Nice!

Third place play off a repeat of 2017 and 2018 - Jonny doing well at holding Tim off the medals

Drinks and forks banned - but not shorts?! This is outrageous!
