Ian Fox reports:
On Sunday morning after some discussion the previous night and earlier that morning Mike & Christine Kateley, Ian & Margaret Fox set off to play at Cuckmere in poor weather with the prospect of it worsening. Mike being determined to defend his 2009 Melee win.
The morning play started around 1030 with 32 players mostly from Cuckmere and took place in occasional drizzle and general greyness, everything thing being rather wet. The terrain slow and soggy, the attitude light hearted. Lunch was taken around 1230 when the heavens opened. We decamped to the pub for lunch with the prospect of a limited meeting from 5 matches to 3. On restarting the rain stopped and we played all 5 matches.
Honours and prizes go to Christine with 3 wins and a plus 24 score. Mike managed 2 wins and Ian 3 wins. For the last game Christine & Ian played the club secretary Andrew Andrews & his wife. An excellent contest being fought point for point. With the club members putting gear away around us Ian capitalised on Christines pointing to win the game with a magic 4 point last end.
Our thanks go to Cuckmere club members for an enjoyable day in difficult conditions.
