Chris May recorded a 2004 Australian high game score of 661 in the second last game of the day against Rod Talbot, while earlier in the day Hanne Marks managed the nine-timer BROCADES for 176 to snare the high word prize.
Jean Balmer who was instrumental in getting last weekend's Winter Challenge onto the NSW calendar and then earned a place in the Masters by virtue of her fifth placing in the Challenge accumulated a massive 158 points to take out the prize for the high rating gain.
Despite the suspect rotating tables which had to be chocked by newspapers, a good weekend was had by all. Much of it was recorded on audio by an ABC reporter, Christina, from Radio National (576 on your AM dial) and this should go to air between 9am and 11am on Tuesday or Wednesday. Stay tuned!
