Where were ye?  Mike had to read the paper in Olive's Room.....it was that bad!!! Surely a few snowflakes didn't deter ye? 

Mike suggested giving ourselves maximum scores but somebody's conscience wouldn't allow such subterfuge.  I like his train of thought though!

Seriously though.......what a morning!.......incredible what a decent fall of snow does.

Maybe I'm a tad alarmist....but come prepared on next Wednesday
as we prepare to welcome the 'Beast from the East!'

Beautiful Spring morning.  Twelve players.  Shay has moved into the lead.  Great to have Liam and Michael back playing.  Hope other players are able rejoin us shortly. 
Remember top 6 of 9 possible scores count at the end of any competition period.
