2008 Spring Informal Series – Overall Results

Thanks to everyone who attended one or more of the 2008 Wednesday evening informal events. This year's series has been a tremendous success. Special thanks to everyone who organised/planned an event this Spring!
My “baffling and incredibly complex” handicap scoring system is actually very simple, but in spite of the inherent simplicity, the results of this year's series have been remarkably close. Your result is based on your two best results out of four events (no-one attended all four). Apologies if I have missed anyone off – do drop me an email and I'll calculate your score. A full listing is given below, and the prizewinners are:

Junior series and overall winner for 2008: Alasdair Pedley (M8)
EPOC Senior Male: Andy Thorpe (M35)
EPOC Senior Female: Claire Hanson (W21)
Special prize for non-EPOC: Heather Gardener (W21) (EBOR)
The Eternal Springtime Trophy returns to the Pedley household for the second year. Clearly Mike and Helen are breeding winners! Well done Alasdair.
Alasdair Pedley M8 61
Siarlot Lloyd W14 62.5
Sarah Pedley W7 64.5
Heather Gardener (EBOR) W21 67
Andy Thorpe M35 73
Claire Hanson W21 77
Keith Sykes M60 78
Mike Pownall M55 79
David Roome (SROC) M21 80
Heather Pownall W12 80.5
Oliver Wetherill M6 85.5
Alastair Tinto M40 87
Colin Burley M70 90

* Richard Wren receives a 100 point penalty for being rude to Bob at the Honley Woods event.

The 2009 series will again be held over four Wednesday evenings in May and we'll be looking for volunteers to plan/organise events. You'll be rewarded lavishly if you can help, so why not choose your favourite local area and volunteer now?
