Twelve players today....a very mild 15 degrees for December.  We played in groups of four on three pistes.  The young Cross Country participants were very interested in the ' Big Marbles', as one was overheard commenting.   No competition but very competitive games on all the pistes.  Good fun.
Following last weeks introduction to the history of St Anne's Park here are the remaining slides.  Click to enlarge.
