The Best Racer was not pooled, and the prize went into the raffle, however I did not record the winners. Many thanks to Sanny Owens who manned the kitchen and supplied the home baking, soup, teas and coffees. I cannot forget our Young Volunteers, Philip and Victoria Evans who worked together selling the Pen Raffles. During the presentation of prizes Philip and Victoria were presented with Saltire Awards for volunteering. 100 hours for Philip and 10 and 25 hours for Victoria. I hope that I have not forgotten anyone and if I have, it goes without saying that I thank them also. Andrew Kyle
