The prizes were handed out, followed by Martin Treacher's quiz, which kept everyone thoroughly entertained. The night ended with 'Roll the Pound' to win a bottle of Glenmorangie, kindly donated by Glenmorangie and a raffle, which raised ยฃ313 towards club funds.
Prizewinners shown in the picture left to right: Esther Mackinnon - Ladies and Mixed doubles runner up, Margaret Macleod - Ladies doubles runner up, Adrian Allan - Men's doubles winner, Mixed doubles runner up, Martin Treacher - Men's singles and doubles winner, Susan Gunn - Ladies singles winner, Gail Simpson - Ladies doubles winner, Joanie Whiteford - Ladies and Mixed doubles winner & Ladies singles runner up, Dave Whiteford - Mixed doubles winner, David Ross - 2022 Most Improved & Men's doubles runner up, Marcus MacAuley - Men's singles & doubles runner up.
