South Ayrshire Congress - January 24 to 26 2014

[David G Congalton]

Apologies for the delay. It's been a busy week. Here are the prizewinners for last weeks event. Once they have been countersigned on Tuesday I will be posting cheques to the prize winners who were unable to attend the prize giving and also to the cross-sectional winners.

Thanks again to everyone who played. I hope it was an enjoyable congress and I see you all again at the same venue for the Ayr Congress during the late May Bank Holiday, Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th.
