2023
This year’s Tournament was great fun and another success. The most amazing thing was that Jo Dormer and Tilly Harrington (Helen Bolton’s daughter) were the winning team for the third year running! This is quite an achievement and was the result of a four-round, three-games-per-round afternoon. Congratulations to them both.
Runners-up were welcome newcomers to the tournament, Chris Lang and his cribbage partner Aidan.
As in previous years, there was a good turnout of keen players.
At the Tournament, we ask for donations to support the great work of Sur Ryder, specifically the Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading. This year we raised £165. 100% of this amount has been sent to Sue Ryder.
1st place: Jo Dormer and Tilly Harrington
