Porthcawl 2010

The South Wales National Congress was held at the Seabank Hotel in Porthcawl on 5th to 7th of November 2010. Attendance was much improved on 2009.

The Red Dragon Pairs Championship was won by Dan McIntosh & Tony Ratcliff. The Porthcawl Championship Teams was won by Barry Jones; Liz Commins; David Birt and Philip Felman.

The Porthcawl Congress has a long and distinguished history. This was billed as the 576th, but the first congress was in 1951 (see here).
