The Pat Shine Shield was won by Steve Lewendon in a final against Alan Rew.
Report fromManager Frances Low
The High Bisquer tournament at Southwick was held again this August.
Following on our successful pilot last year, we again split the entries into a Main Event for the High Bisque Salver, and a supervised group who had varying degrees of help.
The main event had 10 players, and was run as a Swiss with each playing 5 X 18 point games with a base of 6, so there were bisques to set up and maintain breaks! 2 players ended with 4 wins out of 5 - Alan Rew and Steve Lewendon. As Steve had beaten Alan (by 1 on time), he was declared the
winner. Several players ended on 3 wins, and there were some very close contests. Not enough peg outs but.......
The supervised group had 8 players, all visitors to the Club. They played 5 X 14 point games with a base of 6. The first 3 games were fully supervised with coaches on hand to advise and suggest, and to answer questions and points of law. The 2nd day was more relaxed but help was available if
needed. A closely fought final between Johannes Hamann and Judith Moore, was won by Judith who was awarded a Southwick glass! Judith fully appreciated the help on hand and her play improved over the 2 days. Johannes had a handicap reduction to 20. Hopefully, we will see them in the main event next
year!
Supervising matches is very hard, intensive work, so my grateful thanks to Pat and Richard Jackson who turned out both days, and to Gene Mears, Alan Theobald and Jonathan Isaacs who all helped 1 day. A special thanks To Don Mears for acting as ROT (Tournament Referee), and for his help and advice to everyone on the laws.
Thanks are due, as ever, to the Southwick catering team, and to John Gosney
for setting the hoops.
A special thank you from me to all the coaches and players who made this a very enjoyable and rewarding tournament. I could not have managed without my husband, John, who organized the Swiss for me on day 1 when I was coaching, and who did the teas and bar. I look forward to seeing some of you next year, and hopefully, many new players.

Dear All - You have all been associated with running heats for this year's Charity One-Ball Championship. The final took place on saturday and I thought you might like early sight of the result. Below is the report I have prepared for the CA website and Gazette. What I would highlight is that 360 players participated in 27 heats and we raised £2678 for the Breast Cancer Campaign. This is a great achievement and I thank you all very much for you own efforts in making this happen. Equally important, I hope all your members had fun and will play again next year. - Kevin; 9.5.11

Thanks to John Gosney for preparing 6 lawns for the event and to Chris Constable for managing it and providing the soup and roll lunch - delicious even if she couldn't quite remember what was in it!
Gordon and his wife Sheila ( who died a couple of years ago) were members of the Club for many years.
