On the plus side, we had a new victim; Steve Squires decided that he’d have a go at BR. The usual faces were to be seen, Justin, Jeremy, Julian, Eddy as well as myself, plus occasional regular Phil and as mentioned, Steve. Straws were drawn…. well, bits of paper and two details plus a single shooter were sorted out.

Mike Smith set the bar high with a first card 250:11x, then Allan Bunce topped it with a 250:14x - this card established a new club record - matching the existing score but bettering it on 'first X missed'.
