AC Advanced Weekend Results - by John_Low 10/10/2012 21:11

The weather was happily better than forecast and almost matched the warmth of the welcome given to the 10 players in the Solomon Cup and the 8 for the B class Sussex Tumblers by the SCCC at Southwick.

John Daniels defeated the 2nd seed Alan Cottle by only 3 on his way to the BO3 Final on the Sunday where he really found his form. A single error in the first game went unpunished by Nick Harris and John took that +26. The second game was not quite so clinical but still resulted in a +17 win for John and the Cup.

Alan Cottle won the Consolation Event with 4 Wins from 5

The B Class Sussex Tumblers was competed for by 8 players with Handicaps ranging from 4 to 8 in what was supposed to be a 5 round Swiss format. Using the well known tactic of losing in the first round resulted in David Cook H7 winning his remaining 4 games whilst Paul Wolff H5 won his first 4 and lost the last to Avril Rangioni Machiavelli H6. On the basis that David had beaten Avril whilst Paul had lost to her, the Tumbler (only one) was awarded to David Cook and Paul Wolff was declared the runner - up.

From the Secretary: Winter Events - by John_Low 07/10/2012 12:23

Dear SCCC member

This Winter every Saturday morning from 11.00 a.m until 13.00pm - and as requested at the AGM and in late summer - there will be new ALL-SORTS croquet sessions.

Club GC sessions will continue be on Mondays and Thursdays, also at 11.00. Wednesday morning Alternate Stroke Doubles will start at 9.45. Tuesdays in Winter, from October 9th onwards, remain as Working Party days.

The first ALL-SORTS morning will be held on Saturday, 6th October. The details of the ALL-SORTS games will depend on the numbers turning up and their interests. The basic idea is that the members joining in will be teamed up in a way similar to the present Club GC afternoon sessions. All croquet formats will be tried if appropriate to members' interests - GC doubles, Alternate Stroke Doubles, 14 point doubles, One-Ball doubles and so on. A member of the Club Committee and/or a Coach will be there to help organise the draw and to arrange the formats. Each morning will aim to conclude with packed lunch in the canteen.

We will also try to arrange more specifically social events on these days. Ideas of Pot-Luck lunches have already been discussed. Please contact Chairman or Secretary

August Tournament Singles results - by John_Low 19/08/2012 22:39

As the entries for the tournament were unfortunately low this year, the four class singles events were merged into two groups.

The top group played a swiss format competition to advanced rules for the Abbey Challenge Cup, and this was won by Jon Palin with 4/5 wins. Jonathan Isaacs was runner-up also with 4/5 wins, having lost to Jon Palin.

Runner-up Jonathan Isaacs

The second group also played a swiss format competition but to mixed handicap or advanced rules, depending on the handicap of the weaker player, for the Monteith Bowl, which has traditionally been the premier cup for open handicap play at Southwick.

The winner was club player David Cook who won all his games.
