St John Charity Tournament
On Saturday, November 26th, the club held a charity tournament for the benefit of the St John Society, in recognition of their generous donation of the portable electronic defibrillator that you can see installed in the front porch of the club rooms. In addition to the tournament, the club ran a raffle and a trading table for weeks prior to the event.
A great time was had by all and over $1500 was raised for the cause! See below for photos of the winners.
