Saturday was the return match with Takaro for the TeRaki cup. On Takaro's home turf, the carpet this time, Northern once again comprehensively won the challenge. This cup has been played for a on a regular basis now for the last 80 years. Takaro as usual were the perfect hosts putting on a very nice lunch and afternoon tea. Thanks Takaro.  We look forward to once again defending the TeRaki cup in the 2013 – 2014 season.

Sunday was the official closing day for our club.  In absolutely fantastic weather, the Herbert Plate was up for grabs in the final games of the season. Tom Palmer was the eventual winner.

Being a progressive tournament it is not often that a Skip wins this trophy. Well done Tom.

At the end of play the prize giving ceremony was held with the trophies for the year being presented by our Patron Bevin.

After which the Centre Certificates and awards were presented by our Manawatu  Centre Executive guest for the day, Woody (Tony Woodley).

After the presentations there was a pot luck tea and very nice it was too.

Once again, great weather, good company and well catered. What more could you ask?

Don’t forget, the AGM is 10am Sunday the 16^th of June. See you there!

Have a great winter!
