This excellent congress was held at the Lysaght Institute in Newport on 14-15 February 2015. There was a nail-biting finish with several teams in with a chance to win on the last match - nearly all of these teams had disappointing results in this last match - so the winners were very relieved to see the final table.
The winners of the Liz Commins trophy, with Liz herself and our President Herbie.
