2023 Christmas Buzzer Tournament

Our winners, Penny, Paul, Jaimie, Laurence, Vinuda and Bill E.

24 players turned up for the Christmas Buzzer tournament on 18 December 2023.

Festive nibbles were brought by Mike Spence and Steve Smith while Paul White and Bill McDougall acted as tournament controllers.

The first round draw was made out of a hat by each player and we set off in 5 groups at 10 second interval truck horns!

At the break the groups were rearranged and to much joy the time limit was reduced to 8 seconds.

Overall winner in Santa group – Jaimie Wilson

Best reindeer in Rudolph group – Vinuda Gunatilake

Chief elf in Elves group – Laurence Ellett

Mrs Claus himself – Bill Emerson

The Grinch! – Paul White
