Twenty-three players are heading to Yeppoon this weekend to play in the annual Yeppoon Congress. Good luck to them all! The first week of the Anne Hird Memorial Trophy was played on Wednesday for novices (under 100 mps) playing with three different experienced players over three weeks. The trophy is in memory of Anne Hird and Beanies for Brain Cancer. Anne was a supporter of encouraging new players. Sandy Patterson is leading after the first week of play.
