A reminder to all trophy winners from 2015 (see here for the list) that trophies must be returned (cleaned and engraved) to Lisa Deaville by the end of December so that she can get organised for distributing them to the lucky winners from 2016! She has sent several emails since November so you should all have them ready to return!

As Chef d’ Equipe,  I would like to thank the members who made up our three teams on Sunday for their support and to congratulate those individuals who were well placed in the qualifying classes – Sarah Spearing, Ashley Daniel, and Rachel Large. Also Lucy Filby in the Prelim non-qualifier.

The Pearls team consisting of Rachel, Sarah, Lucy Brydon and myself were placed third in the team competition. The other two teams, unfortunately were out of the reckoning.

Gwen and her kitchen staff provided excellent refreshments throughout the day.
