Paul & I travelled to the Suncliff Hotel in Bournemouth, to collect the awards (see below) for the Bustards finishing as runners up in the B&DBA League 2024, Triples Section 5 (Saturdays).
Congratulations & thank you to everyone who played for the Bustards. These are for us to keep & will be displayed at the clubhouse.
We were joined by another 142 B&D club members, who were all treated to a lovely three course meal. We were on a table with some of our good friends from Milton-on-Sea, who were runners up in section 3.
Fortunately, they started with section 6, so we didn’t have to wait too long!
As both our team are scheduled to play in section 4 next season, hopefully we can return next year to claim both the winners & the runners up awards.
