· Re Seddon Shield:
Judyne: was very pleased with the ladies team and would like to put her hand up for selector in 2016
Bob: said the Men’s Team was well behaved, relaxed and supportive
Nicole: was very disappointed with the lack of help in setting up the tables and at the end of the tournament
Bob: the food catered by the Clubs of Marlborough was awful. For the cost of $720.00 worked out to be 10 platters at $72.00 each. It was a shame that all the food came out at once, which meant the people still playing missed out as the food was eaten by the people that had finished their games. The lamingtons were cut in half and yet charged at full price
Raffles: there are still 100 tickets to be sold, there is a ham at the Royal and Lyn Bowman’s blanket needs to be drawn.
