The stellar collection of talent also included an abundance of young players - and indeed, some of the youngest players seen at a congress! 12 year olds Solcita Lu and Genevieve Hunter joined parents Sarah and Paul Hunter, competing as the "DS ARE GIRLS BF" Team.
Solcita and Genevieve are seen here mixing it with Hans van Weeren and Sachiko Cathcart.
while Paul and Sarah take on Mark and Julie Guthrie.

As usual, Sue Crompton and her band of helpers provided a delicious lunch as well as snacks throughout the day.
As our usual barman (and caretaker) Brian was unwell, Sue and Mike performed another essential service for the patrons - serving at the bar!
