Winter Carnival 2009.

Round 3 of the Mixed Fours on Friday, July 17 wound up a very successful Winter Carnival. Throughout the two weeks not a minute was lost due to rain. Only three teams won events on maximum points with close results the order of the day. And the well attended Carnival Dinner on Thursday proved to be a great night rounding off the two weeks that commenced on Friday July 3 with the pre Carnival barbeque.

Pam Reynolds teamed with son Jamie to finish second on 10 points and a margin of +85 from third placed Kevin and Cheryl Chase with 10 points and a margin of +38.
