Thankyou to the 7 non-playing referees being relieved briefly by playing referees and all organised by Barb Piggott our Tournament Referee. Thanks Barb. Thanks to all our helpers and Pete Smith for the Block photos and the time spent on the leadup, and last of all the players who supplied wonderful friendly games to make this Tournament a success.
