The following Monday was the annual lightening where players must move on the sound of a buzzer, which goes off every 10 seconds. Part skill part luck, this year was won by Kevin Wilson in a final against Steve Dauber. Rod Gilpin, as always, proved almost unbeatable and forced Kevin Wilson to a group playoff which after drawing the first game conceded.
Next is the annual friendly with Durham followed by the start of the season proper.
Don't forget the juniors meet every Monday at 18:00.
