The club hosted the Spring Allegro on Sunday March 20th with a capacity entry of 24 players.  The proud winner of the Spring Allegro Trophy (two splendidly yellow flower pots magnificently crested with a packet of sunflower seeds) was Callum Watt with a score of 4½/5, which included a win over top seed Ed Perry.  Details:

1. Callum Watt (Balerno)             4½

2. Dick Heathwood (Pentland Hills)    4

3. Ed Perry (Sandy Bells), Mark Sanderson (Edinburgh), Paul Girdwood (Gorgie/Dalry)     3½

Many thanks to Bob Burns and David Archibald for another well run and enjoyable event (and further contribution to Club funds).

Next event likely to be early May.
