The main lake and Westpool were taken up with a memorial silvers match for Jeff Wye who was a lovely old chap who sadly lost his battle with cancer.

Viaduct Campbell, PSV match. Only a short blog today as not much occurred throughout the duration of the match. I arrived in plenty of time for the draw, thankfully the usual route to the venue is open again, saves using the A39.
