21st January: Hosting the North West Federation Semi Final

Last night we hosted a nail-biting semi-final between Amersham and Watford – judged by Mark Buckley-Sharp.  It was great to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy both club’s excellent work.

Congratulations to Watford who won by just half a point – the first time for over twenty years that the half point was the decider!

Commiserations to Amersham and all good wishes to Watford in their finals’ match (taking place at Amersham) on 22nd February.

Many thanks to Mark and to all who came along.
