                                                                               The Ringwood Festival Plate was held today in fine weather but still very breezy after the very strong winds of yesterday. The competition was played in a Pairs format instead of the usual Triples.
Nevertheless, the matches were enjoyed by all who took part and after a very nice lunch, the semifinals and final were played in the afternoon.
The 10 end final was an exciting, very close match with the victors scoring 9 shots to 6.
Pictured from left to right are the winners Helena Webber and John Stone then runners-up Mel Jones and Denis Carr. Well done to Helena, John, Mel and Denis.
Well done also and a big thank you to Doug Jones who organised and ran the event, like clockwork, despite the lack of the Air Horn.
