We won this nice oak Rack in an Auction a number of years ago and started bringing it to
the Tourney with us to be signed by former Champs and the new Champions as soon as they win.

This year the weather was so nasty on the first day they had to break for several hours and
come back later in the afternoon to finish the games. The rest of the week was great.

In addition to the competition the kids went on a boat ride and of course got tickets for the rides etc. on the Piers and lots of fun was had by all..
