Rosebowl Competition Results 2009 - 2010
Our good results in the qualifying rounds gained us entry to the Rosebowl Final. Here we battled 11 other clubs, each club submitting 6 images. The final winners were Amersham CC, who gained a remarkable 113 points; we came 11th, with a creditable 95 points.
Although this was only our second entry in this competition for several years, we acquitted ourselves very honourably against strong opposition, and I look forward to even greater success in the coming year.
