The second "full" season has finished since the League restarted 
so the prizes, cups and scrolls are back to normal. 
Thus the Improvers Cup is awarded for the first time in three 
years. The number of active members is still not back to anywhere 
near its pre-Covid levels and some of those playing are not 
travelling so far nor playing as frequently.
The rule of ten matches six of which must be on the official 
fixture list has meant that many players did not qualify, in fact 
four of the top eight missed out.... Sandie Simonis, David Holmes,
Lynne Kay and Pam Vahed**
