Tyres and More Mixed Pairs Championship.
Jean and Clint Kelly were runners-up on 12 points to the team of Merv Mott and Janice Hoover who went through the two weeks without losing a match. But it was not easy. The games were very hard fought and the pair was lucky to win a couple of them.
The sponsor of this championship, Nick Stone, was at the conclusion of the event. He spoke on how long the company has sponsored the Mixed Pairs and how he will be happy to continue with this support. If anyone needs anything to do with their car, please pop around to Tyres and More. “We are a friendly bunch” he said. Many thanks to Nick for attending and speaking to all those present.
