Well done to Finchley members Ian Ellis, Dave Fish and Harry McKinnon, pictured here with Bounds Green club President Steve Griffiths. They took first place at BG's President's Day competition this afternoon, by picking up a six on their last end to seal a 25-8 win. More importantly, over £1,200 was raised for Great Ormond Street Hospital 🥰

PS. We also hear that Dave's mum Joyce did rather well on the raffle 😉🥂
