CARDS SECTION:<br />
Our cribbage team went to Porirua competing for the National Cribbage Trophy and<br />
came back with great results.<br />
Ethel Aranga won the National trophy for <strong>2019</strong>, this is the second win of the Cribbage<br />
Trophy for Ethel in three years an outstanding<br />
achievement. The Sunday game “win” was jointly<br />
won by Ethel Aranga and Edwin Marshall another<br />
great achievement at the nationals from our team.<br />
FISHING SECTION:<br />
Well the fishing section have been on tour again.. back to Lake Brunner for another<br />
challenge.<br />
This time it was a multi clubs competition, all trying to win the coveted Jack Elcock trophy,<br />
which is a Hornby Club event.15 boats, 45 adult anglers and 3 juniors all trying<br />
their best from 5pm Friday afternoon until 4pm on the Saturday. Weigh-in at the<br />
lovely Moana Hotel but we forgot about a Crusaders rugby game that had a 5.30 start.<br />
Needless to say, the pub was packed, the beer and the noise were both doing well,<br />
and the presentation headed outside for some hopefully relative quietness... except<br />
when the Crusaders scored. After all the tallying up was done, time for the results, and<br />
to our delight, Donna won the main trophy, the first lady to win it and even better that<br />
Donna is one of ours.!!! Yay!! go the ladies. The juniors did well too.. we had 2 of them<br />
and they finished 1st and 2nd.. not a bad effort as we did well in the spot prizes too.<br />
Some interesting scenery was around just after Mother Nature had unleashed a torrent<br />
of rain just the week before we got there. Travelling over was different with snow<br />
flurries around Porters Pass and a lot of snow had been dumped along the main divide<br />
in the few days prior to us travelling..<br />
A quiet few weeks for us now but plotting and planning is underway for an assault on<br />
the southern lakes in June. (Thermals are already being sorted)<br />
Cribbage is becoming a more popular<br />
game amongst our members. The section<br />
committee have introduced cribbage on<br />
Tuesday “card night” assuming enough<br />
players are available on the night. This is<br />
an opportunity for new and old members<br />
to learn from the best.<br />
Thanks, Karen<br />
New members are most welcome to come along on Tuesday night at 7pm to play Euchre.
