GP 2 – The Skinner’s School – 2014/15
Our second GP of the 2014/15 season attracted
another excellent turn out with 95 players across 6 sections, many entering
their first ever tournament and representing many different schools and
counties. The event was held on Sunday 2nd November at the beautiful
school of The Skinner’s School in Royal Tunbridge Wells, West
Kent and also doubled as a London Junior qualifier event.
Congratulations to all our players, but in particular the top three and prize winners in each section:

As always a huge thanks to the many parents and children who kindly helped out on the day, without you we would not be able to function as an organisation and all help is much appreciated.
Many thanks also to The Skinner’s School for accommodating us and for letting us use their beautiful school.
