There are 'Advantages' to playing in the winter

Namely, that the setter-uppers get to see some wonderful early morning sunshine.  

Or that one can spend a day in friendly competition on our fine lawns -- better than staying in bed.

As well as having the chance to win a bottle of bubbly.  (Although Nigel seems to have cornered the market on that just at present -- two out of two!  Congratulations to him for good play in testing situations.)

Not to mention testing out a refined scorekeeping system on behalf of Roy Tillcock, responsible for developing the Advantage GC format.  You will see that James has taken to heart Ian's suggestions of keeping clips visible!

Two events completed, and two more before Christmas.  After which, there will be the Advantage (sorry) of longer days.

Well done, everyone for a good day's play and sociability.
